US Election Night Art Extravaganza

On a night when anything seems possible, art and politics enter the same space, merging realities. As the US election results arrive in real time, a scene is created - a reflection of the nation, a happening of opposites. Aesthetics meet doubt, line dancers meet power, cheerleaders meet wrestlers and protest choirs meet hula dancers. Two career politicians vie for your vote, the television picture in the background switches tirelessly from projection to projection. A studio as a stage, the scene of polarized reality and the American dream. As the visions of America are counted, a play unfolds that reflects the breathlessness of democracy - a road trip through a country that must reinvent itself, always through the lens of reporting, live and raw. A ferryman steers through the night with loud words and vague thoughts until the big decision is made. For those willing to persevere, there is a midnight snack, endless hot coffee at a saloon bar, a place to doze off and hot showers in the morning before starting the new day after this journey through hope and dystopia, nostalgia and election victory.

Free admission.
