内容简介

"Copper Thunderbird" is a play on canvas based on the life of Norval Morriseau. Inside the power-lines which Morriseau boldly defined in his art were the colors he experienced between his Ojibwa cosmology, his life on the street, and his spiritual and philosophical transformations to become the Father of Contemporary Native Art and a Grand Shaman. Appearing simultaneously in this multi-layered drama as a small boy, a young warrior, and an old man, Morriseau confronts his many selves over the Faustian deal he made during his vision quest--a trick that led to a life wracked by both triumph and ordeal, drawing his vibrant colors, both luminous and dark, from the life force within him.
