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.
