In this devised physical theater piece for young people, overworked and dispassionate Coyote leaves the big city to find himself. Lost and hungry, he meets (and nearly eats) an unfortunate child and a sack of stones at the edge of a great northern wood. As the drama unfolds, jokes, stories and secrets are revealed on the long road back to Uncle Dale’s house. Coyote doesn’t know whom he belongs to or where he comes from, but he will be forever changed by the child and the many entities they encounter along the way, including contested representations of Native histories. Fumbling with his own body, hungers, prejudices and errant cleverness, Coyote’s complex becoming is performed through the weaving together of true stories, trickster tales from select nations, and contemporary Native social issues.
