Bozeman Magazine

The first performance of Timon of Anaconda will be in Bozeman on Saturday September 7 at 3 p.m. at The Silos next to Story Mill Park; the second performance will be in Butte at Foreman’s Park at Mountain Con Mineyard on Sunday September 8, also at 3 p.m. Performance sites were chosen based upon their former use as industrialization areas, locations where profit reigned supreme, producing millions of dollars for the owners at the expense of the land and the workers. Today these locations are being reclaimed, “Capped and Crowned” with healthy soil and native plants once again, with vestiges of their industrial past hovering nearby as monuments to a voracious capitalistic past.

Bozeman’s performance site was chosen because it too was once the former location of an industrial process, a flour mill and next door to a commercial slaughterhouse, now being returned to a different more environmentally friendly use.
