Description

World premiere

Across his genre-defying work, NoiseCat often turns to the narrative arts of his people who tell stories about mythic ancestors like the trickster Coyote to make sense of the world and themselves, cutting through colonial fictions while pushing the boundaries of nonfiction to illuminate vital truths. The “Coyote Story,” an artform once practiced by Indigenous peoples from Central America to Western Canada, is one of the oldest and most significant oral traditions in human history. In this one-man show, NoiseCat brings this dying art off the page and onto the stage through song, dance, and oratory.

Julian Brave NoiseCat—writer, filmmaker, and champion powwow dancer, is a multi-hyphenate storyteller and artist from the Secwépemc and St’at’imc nations. His documentary, Sugarcane, directed alongside Emily Kassie was nominated for an Oscar in 2025. NoiseCat’s best selling book, We Survived the Night, grounds and is the source for this work.

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
