Footage from Artcirq's performance of ASIU (Lost) at the 2014 edition of the Alianait Arts Festival in Iqaluit.

Asiu is Artcirq's latest show and is inspired by the traditional Inuit legend Amaqup Nunaat (The Land of Wolves) about two brothers who find themselves lost in the mysterious world of the Shadow People.

Asinnajaq draws her viewers into a sublime imaginary universe— using archival footage overlaid with a quilt of hand-drawn and CGI animation to recast the present, past and future of Inuit in a radiant new light.
