Wordfest presents Julian Brave NoiseCat

Drawing upon the rich stories of his family and people, Julian Brave NoiseCat's "Box of Treasures" reimagines the traditional book talk format as performance art, bringing to life the tragicomic episodes and ideas coursing through We Survived the Night in oratory, song, and found objects. Some say Indigenous traditions like the epic canon of the trickster Coyote are long gone and ill-suited to this colonized world. Not so, insists NoiseCat with this wholly original show as he brings the art of the Coyote Story back from the dead. This unique presentation will be followed by a book signing, fuelled by Shelf Life Books. You can pre-order copies of We Survived the Night here.
