The 16th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival presents ūtszan. This passionate story about language and how it informs identity, follows the journey of a woman and her quest to reclaim her language. In the process, she uncovers Indigenous knowledge, humour, strength and resilience. ūtszan (to make things better) is written and performed by Yvonne Wallace (Lilwat) and directed by Jefferson Guzman.

The DTES Heart of the City Festival runs from October 30 - November 10, 2019 and features over 100 events at over 40 locations. 

ūtszan (part of the DTES Heart of the City Festival) is playing Oct 31 & Nov 1 at 8pm and Nov 2 at 3pm.
