The opening will feature a performance by Guillermo Galindo with guest percussionist William Winant: 

Shells crack. Time speaks.
A sonic ritual invoking the ancient practice of turtle divination (plastromancy) where the turtle shell becomes a symbol of cosmic order, bearer of worlds.  In this sonic performance, by Guillermo Galindo aka gal*in_dog and guest master percussionist William Winant, turtle shells become both oracle and instrument, their resonant chambers channeling ancestral patterns through rhythm and reverberation.” . Each resonance is a consultation with deep time, each vibration a pattern emerging from the carapace's ancient geometry."
