COYOTE MAKES A WORLD is a multimedia performance ritual that interweaves Native American and other musical traditions using percussion, storytelling, song, electronic music, and projected photographic and video imagery.
Performed by The Forest —a cooperative percussion ensemble consisting of Gustavo Aguilar, Leah Bowden, Andrew Drury, and Michael Wimberly—in collaboration with Native storyteller/musician čnaq’ymi (lone eagle) Coyote Makes a World explores a contemporary world in environmental and political crisis. Lone Eagle’s insightful reworking of his Spokan people’s traditional Coyote stories, music, and concept of ceremony brings a powerful, healing perspective to audience members of all backgrounds.
