Tar Baby by Desiree Burch and Dan Kitrosser
NOMINATED FOR NYIT AWARD OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE ART PRODUCTION
A highly interactive semi-solo show about race capitalism and America. Opens with a musical number with audience participation acting out the history of the slave trade, involves cotton candy hair booths, “beat the shit out of Racism” strength tests, face painting, and a interactive giant white sheet fort.
I worked with Desiree and Dan in developing the show at PS122 with TerraNOVA and then at the New Orleans Fringe before opening at the Daryl Roth 2 Theater in Union Square.
