This event will feature a historical re-enactment of "The Visitation of Red Horn Morningstar to Tristan De Luna." A 12 minute theatre piece of the Aging 16th Century Spanish Conquistador troubled in his sleep because of his history-changing inhumanity to the Indigenous Peoples of the COOSA KINGDOMS. Star Son, RED HORN MORNINGSTAR, will appear to him as a Dream Spirit and lead him into haunting memories of the life choices he made as a Explorer to the New World. This theatre piece will introduce the 21st Century people to the forgotten truths of this New World Explorer and his impact on the Peoples he found here.

Our Guest Performers will be:
RED HORN MORNINGSTAR: Aaron Nichols
Conquistador TRISTAN De LUNA: TBD
