Performance artist Taylor Mac had a dream that was realized in 2016 with a one-time-only 24-hour theatrical extravaganza, staged at Brooklyn’s St. Ann’s Warehouse. There, Taylor gave an eccentric and flamboyant take on 240 years of American history through popular songs of the time, transforming himself in elaborate period costumes by collaborator Machine Dazzle. Excerpts of the marathon show are interspersed with backstage interviews and behind-the-scenes footage of Dazzle’s dazzling and museum-worthy designs.
