“Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man” closes the final season of the Ko Festival of Performance, July 29-31, outdoors on the Hampshire College campus in Amherst. Ezell explores the complexities of climate change, indigenous erasure, and environmental extraction (fracking). This immersive experience features a guided walk through the woods to the performance site on land that is part of the Hampshire College Farm Center, with live music before the play. The performance site will have folding chairs and risers, with some ground seating available. Ko is dedicated to making this performance accessible. Performances of “Ezell: Ballad of a Land Man” are outdoors and timed with the sun. For details: www.kofest.com.
