SkirtsAFire Festival has announced I Am Eagle by Indigenous artist Matricia Bauer as a featured work for its 2026 lineup, with performances set for March 6 & 7 at Edmonton’s Walterdale Theatre.
Matricia Bauer, playwright and presenting artist of I Am Eagle, tells Raven Radio Network that bringing her life story to the stage is a dream come true.
Bauer describes the play as a journey of self-acceptance, shaped by her experience in the Sixties Scoop, foster care, and reconnecting with her culture.
Bauer adds that I Am Eagle explores cultural loss and reclamation while deepening understanding of reconciliation.
