Stories were passed down through the elders' breath, drum rhythms, and the memories of the town or city. They shaped identities, preserved knowledge, and held communities together.In today’s world, where isolation, displacement, and cultural erasure threaten many communities, storytelling remains a radical but forgotten act of connection. It affirms who we are, where we come from, and what we carry forward. They remind us that while our languages, identity and landscapes may differ, our longing for meaning, belonging, and continuity is universal.Echoes Across the Flames is an invitation to gather around this ancient fire—to listen, feel, remember and reconnect. It celebrates the power of oral tradition as a living, breathing art form that transcends borders.This event creates space for diverse audiences, especially racialised and immigrant communities in Calgary, to see themselves reflected on stage, and to witness the beauty of other traditions with open hearts. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/echoes-across-the-flames/100001989116909221 - **Event Categories**: storytelling, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-06-21T00:30:00Z - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Motel Theatre - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Motel Theatre - **lat**: 51.0453175 - **long**: -114.0588372 - **full address**: Motel Theatre, 225 8 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Echoes Across the Flames - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/f65c3039e3e096d1de56019357374ffd0a11ad67adccb46d41cf17aee55d5a70-rimg-w1200-h1562-dc030202-gmir.jpg?v=1778680535 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Echoes Across the Flames being held? - **A:** Echoes Across the Flames takes place on Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Motel Theatre, 225 8 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Echoes Across the Flames? - **A:** Echoes Across the Flames is organized by Black Onyx Playhouse. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
