Cultural Encounters Once Again

June 25th
Tonight was the closing reception for June's artists-in-residence, Kim Shuck and Michael Horse. As part of the evening pickPocket Ensemble played their Klezmer inspired music and the group Cyotess Tails & Real Faces performed some of the worst theater/storytelling ever. I used to like Coyote stories and the trickster tales involved with the acting in this performance was so terrible. One was about lying down in his own shit. Another one was about a coyote that wanted to have sex with three coyotes who rejected him. In the performance he jumped onto all three of them shouting, "Here is my enormous erection. Let's all three have intercourse. I will force myself on you three if you do not allow it." In the story the three women beat him to a bloody pulp. There were little children in attendance and it was just terrible and should not have been shown. An entertaining evening for me because I took photos all evening and could enjoy the music and poetry reading.
