St. Ann’s Warehouse and The Walk Productions present
Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi
Sep 18–19
Manhattan & Brooklyn

A breathtaking herd of life-size buffalo puppets gathers in New York City this fall. Part spectacle, part ritual, Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi invites us to join the herd as they roam, graze, and run wild through downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan, encountering live music, poetry, ceremonies, and performances along the way.

Inspired by the buffalo's extraordinary return—from near extinction to repopulation—Return of the Buffalo ushers in a new period of healing.
