Star’s newfound passion propels them to face a cultural past once neglected, but when painful memories re-emerge, their love for drag and their new family is put to the test. Alongside Levi (Jeffrey Follis) and the rest of their sisters in drag, Star journeys through the realization of who they are, leading to the creation of a persona that blends their grounded cultural spirit with a unique take on drag.Genres: Musical, Comedy, Drama, Queer – Ethan Vlessing – The Hollywood Reporter– Rachel Ho - EXCLAIM Magazine https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/ca9aa130-4a95-11f1-ad10-af1c0000fe82-rimg-w1200-h633-dc05141b-gmir.jpg DirectorCorey PayetteStarwalker began as a deeply personal exploration of my Two-Spirit identity and a love letter to my queer community in East Vancouver. I started writing this musical at a time when drag queen story hours weren’t under attack, when the findings from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People had not yet come to light, and when the fight for equality seemed to be making greater strides. But the world has shifted, and so has the urgency of Starwalker.This musical is an act of joyful rebellion—a celebration of resilience and the enduring power of love. It honors our shared histories and the complex, messy beauty of our relationships, while imagining a future full of unapologetic self-expression.At its heart, Starwalker weaves together Indigenous culture and drag performance to shine a light on the vibrant, transformative power of Two-Spirit identity. It’s a tribute to our families—both those we are born into and those we choose—to the beauty that exists within us all, and to the sacred, unshakable power that has always lived on this land.My hope is that Starwalker will inspire audiences to see the world through a lens of love and possibility, and to celebrate the joy of being exactly who you were always meant to be.Learn More: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/cb12de70-4a95-11f1-a995-afc12287912d-rimg-w1200-h628-dc2c1c17-gmir.jpg Save with a Festival Pass—get access to all 12 screenings.👉 Recommended if you plan to attend 6+ films. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/ftff-2026-starwalker/100001985611505464 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, festivals, live-music, comedy, art, theatre, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes - Location: Contemporary Calgary - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 17.31, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Contemporary Calgary - **lat**: 51.0474407 - **long**: -114.0895221 - **full address**: Contemporary Calgary, 701 11 Street Southwest, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: FTFF 2026: Starwalker - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/660053578d99175e4022faf165802a8a1e1971f019a61ba650b7374676a74cea-rimg-w1200-h633-dc2f1515-gmir.jpg?v=1775457774 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is FTFF 2026: Starwalker being held? - **A:** FTFF 2026: Starwalker takes place on Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Contemporary Calgary, 701 11 Street Southwest, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing FTFF 2026: Starwalker? - **A:** FTFF 2026: Starwalker is organized by Calgary Queer Arts Society. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
