MELT !
A site specific immersive interactive faux rally that was commissioned by and performed on the High Line in NYC for one night only May 2018. 

It’s May 17, 2060. The 17th Annual Post Racial America Day Rally. White people in America have been the minority for 17 years. The mixed race, gender fluid President of the United States, who refuses to disclose birth gender, speaks: “America is the great melting pot…MELT!” Don’t miss this somewhat-satirical and very timely performance exploring race, gender, and social justice in a not-too-distant possible future.
