Deer Woman is a solo warrior woman work of righteous vengeance, starring Cherish Violet Blood. Lila is a big sister whose little one was stolen. She is the daughter of a hunter who taught her all he knew. She’s ex-army, but can’t seem to leave all that training behind. Circumstances converge and Lila finds the perfect opportunity to avenge her younger sister’s murder while exercising the skills the Canadian government trained into her.

“It’s not often you go to the theatre and are so enthralled, while being taken on this intimate unraveling of what seems like some sort of confession, never quite sure where it’s going, but too captivated to care. ARTICLE 11’s Andy Moro , Tara Beagan and Cherish Violet Blood have created an extraordinary night in the theatre I hope to see tour everywhere!! Brilliant!!!”
–Rachael Zoa Maza, AD of Ilbijerri Theatre
