700 W. Rio Salado Parkway Tempe

You think you know the truth about Kokopelli, the hump-backed flute player with an active libido venerated by Native Americans throughout the Southwest? Think again. Kokopelli The Legend is a new work by accomplished artist and story-teller Jim Covarrubias that tells of the untold story of a thriving ancient culture and what led to their ultimate demise by invaders and drought. Kokopelli's wisdom and courage revive a dying world and guide the people to their destiny. This is his story and his legend as told through the ages by desert winds and rushing waters, remembered to this day through petroglyphs in the silence of the stones. See this story of your ancestors come to life when it premieres at the Tempe Center for the Arts.
