Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music
Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music
Based on the award-winning stage show
A decade-long labour of love.
This riotous concert film captures New York theatre legend and MacArthur 'Genius’ Fellow Taylor Mac’s joyously queer 24-hour immersive theatrical experience.
Taylor Mac’s 24 Decade History of Popular Music was a decade in the making and captures Mac’s lens on the entirety of US history from 1776 to present day. The 24 hour live show, comprising over 240 songs and performed by Mac and a huge supporting cast, was performed only once in its entirety in Brooklyn, NY. All its righteous outrage and radical humanity is displayed in this feature length documentary from Oscar-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.
From sailor's ditties to disco to sugary pop, Mac's cathartic tour de force performance is a feast for the senses and not to be missed.
