A darkly comic, theatrical fantasia, Kyotopolis is the third play in Daniel David Moses’ City series and the sequel to Big Buck City. The play continues to follow the journeys of the Indigenous families, the Bucks and the Fishers. The central figure in this play is Babe Fisher, although she is talked about but not seen. She has become the spokesperson and figurehead for the Toward Utopia Family, which heads up the Native nation of Canada. In this New World, eighteen Native Nations now exist with their own governments and ministries. After Babe disappears on a failed space expedition in the Crazy Horse rocket, her family, friends, and fascinated followers try to make sense of what happened. In a dystopian world, Kyotopolis explores differing ideas of communication and the ongoing struggle of First Nations peoples in Canada to find an identity.
