Archetypes: Film Screening and Conversation with Third Coast Percussion

About the Event:

The creator, the hero, the explorer: these are just some of the archetypes made famous by Carl Jung that inspired the latest album from Chicago’s Grammy award-winning Third Coast Percussion. Created in collaboration with classical guitarist Sérgio Assad and composer-performer Clarice Assad, Archetypes now also exists as a film, which captures Third Coast performing the entire album in-studio. Join CHF for a film screening and conversation with Clarice Assad, Third Coast’s Executive Director David Skidmore and University of Chicago comparative literature professor Haun Saussy about the album’s fresh journey through familiar characters.
