The North American premiere of The Eagle and the Tortoise invites the audience into a collective reading of a hand-made book. Sister Sylvester’s work moves between myth and documentary, tracing the history of the aerial view in art and journalism, and following the true story of a young woman who became an icon of leftist resistance, an armed militant, a political prisoner, and finally, a proxy soldier in the American war against ISIS.

SEATING POLICY: Please plan to arrive early as there will be no late seating.

RUN TIME: The show runs 60 minutes with no intermission.

The Eagle and the Tortoise is presented in partnership with Under the Radar – Mark Russell, Festival Director & ArKtype, Festival Producer. More information at utrfest.org
