Taylor Mac at Clarice Smith, Apr 10-11

Taylor Mac
The 20th Century Concert
Friday, April 10, 2015, all day

Overthrow the talkback and join us outside the Actors Studio (technically a little more than 200 miles from the Actors Studio). Show up the day before pop cabaret enchantment, The 20th Century Concert: Abridged, to see how Taylor Mac subverts the Proust Questionnaire.

Taylor Mac
The 20th Century Concert: Abridged
Saturday, April 11, 2015 . 8PM

Venue: Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.

Tickets: Regular: $25, Student: $10. Kogood Theatre, General Admission.

Description: Bedazzled shaman Taylor Mac purges the past by performing a sacrificial ritual of songs from the 20th Century. An internationally acclaimed singer/theatre artist, Taylor Mac brings radical fairy sacrament realness to this concert of popular music classics. Expect at least one song from each decade of the 20th Century to act as a springboard for frivolity, oblation and rapture. This 20th Century Concert is the abridged version of Taylor Mac’s community building odyssey A 24 Hour History of Popular Music. We welcome you to participate in this event. You won’t be forced, but often invited. Sing, play parts, dance, eat, meditate, exercise, sleep, flirt, and on and on, all while listening to how mythology meets melody.
