2022 FESTIVAL PROGRAM | PROGRAMME DU FESTIVAL

DJ Shub the Godfather of PowWowStep brings us a live visual performance of his critically acclaimed, chart topping electronic Indigenous album: War Club. Filmed at the Ska-Nah-Doht Village & Lower Thames Conservation, DJ Shub partners with special guests and Indigenous dancers for the forty minute special bringing a message of protest and power. This celebration of Indigenous music and culture follows a narrative of a young girl who finds her long lost brother with the guidance of an enchanted Indigenous War Club.

Set on conservation land, The War Club special is an immersive, high energy electronic music experience that places the viewer in the midst of the show. DJ Shub energetically performs at the turntable decks against dynamic movement from Indigenous dancers and featured artists.
