past performances

Our monthly series is always seeking artists to anchor the evening’s event. This means you get a timeslot in the center of the evening of at least 30 minutes, a stipend of $125.00, and our support with promotions and so on leading up to the event. Indigenous Magic is always free to all, a family event, and open to new and existing allies and audiences of Native/indigenous peoples. Artists are welcome whether their medium makes use of traditional indigenous/Native forms or not, and whether or not your medium is intrisically performative or not. We support musicians, singers, poets, playwrights, prosewriters, scriptwriters, painters, sculptors, animators, sound artists, dancers, and more.

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 Chayson, a nonbinary half-Lakota bike messenger, from a South of Market club in 1990 San Francisco. When Coyote tries to send Chayson back to his own time and space, he misses the mark by 200 years.

GhostRave unfolds – for Coyote, Chayson, 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.
