Coyote the Trickster is up to no good. From 1890 western Nevada, where he’s watching some new Paiute ceremony he’s never seen before, he manages to pull Zique, a nonbinary half-Lakota bike messenger, from a South of Market club in 1990 San Francisco. When Coyote tries to send Zique back to his own time and space, he misses the mark by 200 years.
GhostRave unfolds – for Coyote, Zique, a cast of Native and indigenous characters both real and unreal, and above all for the audience – as an immersive operatic adventure that breaks the rules of dancefloors, spacetime, indigeneity, genderqueerness, opera, and theatre.
A limited number of tickets will be available for each performance – patrons are welcome to sit, stand, and dance. It’s a new, original experience coming alive in a workshop production from TigerBear, the creative production team that brought the immersive kink chamber opera Unbound to Palm Springs and the award-winning Deal With The Dragon to the Magic Theatre.
Electronic music, haze effects, flashing lights, scent design.

Our story
TigerBear Productions started on its journey long before 2019. Our fore“bears” include the first artists who inspired us as wee cubs, and those who shaped and shared them with us. As we grew, we wondered again and again: who could we gather to tell a story with, and who could we gather to tell it to? Print and stage and screen evolved, and so did we, yet we kept renewing our love of making stories and making them happen. Here, now, we keep telling and making them, with more inspirations in our hearts and imaginations than we can count. Join our journey.
join us in our mission to inspire, elevate and delight!
