7:30pm reception
8:00pm performance
9:00pm post-concert talk
With wit and candor, Evans presents a contrasting set of ideas – myth and science, concrete and abstract – of coyotes in American culture through stories of coyote run-ins, trickster mythology, human-coyote coevolution and the federal government’s hundred year war against coyotes. Evans has created a new collection of stories and music, Coyoteways, creating a lush sonic landscape for this performance. The music and narratives guide the audience through a lens to see our ecology, such as it is, and how we can find myth in everyday life through coyotes.
Following the performance, HCL will host a talkback and Q & A with Nat Evans, Nora Barton, Julia Miller, and William Harper.
