Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music

Annenberg Theater

When

June 25, 2023    
2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Join us for an exclusive screening of an HBO documentary chronicling a one-of-a-kind music performance statement.

In a unique concert, MacArthur Genius Award winner Taylor Mac reimagines American history as an over-the-top, queer-inflected, counter-cultural, musical extravaganza. A decade in the making, the 24-hour show, comprising 240 songs performed by Mac and a huge supporting cast, was performed only once non-stop in its entirety.

Oscar-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (The Times of Harvey Milk, Common Threads) have adapted this tour-de-force performance in all its righteous outrage and radical humanity into a feature-length documentary.

The film will be followed by a 15-minute Q&A with Taylor Mac and the filmmakers.
