A sophisticated Air Force computer in the form of a huge snake escapes in the Mojave Desert, becoming the focus of a multitude of forces – black militants, a hapless young tourist couple, the military establishments that tries to recapture the sidewinder – against a backdrop of Hopi Indian magic and mysticism. A cartoon with a rock score from the early ‘70s and a cautionary tale for now. Written by Sam Shepard Directed by Jeff Ginsberg LOCATION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Columbia College Chicago Theatre Department PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
