Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program: 'Pigeon'

Pigeon - By Dillon Chitto (Mississippi Choctaw, Laguna, and Isleta Pueblo) | Directed by Madeline Sayet (Mohegan). Situated within the world of Queer Native identity, PIGEON is the first play in a two-part series centered around a group of Queer Urban Natives residing in the Northside of Chicago. When confronted by a mysterious trickster bearing an unusual offer, the family members find themselves at a crossroads, forced to prioritize either communal bonds or individual pursuits for their survival. 

The Yale Indigenous Performing Arts Program (YIPAP) promotes and cultivates Indigenous storytelling and performance to further authentic representation across New Haven community and the arts field. The YIPAP 9th Annual New Native Play Festival presents developmental readings of works by acclaimed professional Native playwrights as well as the winning play submitted to the Young Native Playwrights Contest.
