Abstract
The chapter discusses the Western, as well as Aboriginal theatrical techniques, applied by the Canadian Inuit Tunooniq theatre for subverting the mainstream stereotypes of the Inuit as a primitive and acultural people, and for protesting against the white culture''s interference in the genuine patterns of Inuit life. The ongoing success of Tunooniq theatre provides convincing evidence of the possibility of effective reconciliation of diverse cultural and aesthetic models for the sake of promoting and celebrating the collective purpose of humanity.
