Description

Rocks Karma Arrows is a multimedia contemporary theater piece looking at Boulder history through the lens of race and class. Historical figures, like the great Chief Niwot, come alive to tell the story of the early founding of Boulder and the final massacre at Sand Creek. Interviews with local historians and Buddhist monks are woven with historical photographs and film into the drama. At times the photographic images completely take over 180° of the theatrical space so that actors are literally immersed in the history – interacting with the photos, struggling with the voices of the past, and trying to understand how those voices echo in the present. Rocks Karma Arrows was the creative lynchpin of the One Action project of 2012. If you missed Rocks Karma Arrows live at CU’s ATLAS theater you can see it now on film.  See moreAnd beginning this fall Motus Theater  will be launching the film in three parts.  Part 1 focuses on the creation of the city of Boulder and the city’s relationship to the Native American tribes who called this land home.  Part 2 reflects on dynamics of race and class in Boulder from 1864-1944.  And Part 3 is a short reflection from historians and community leaders on Rocks Karma Arrows (see the 3 minute opening to Part 3 here).
