Forget the Upper Stage you once knew: it has been transformed into a hybrid social medium, something between an Instagram account and an iPhone screen. Forget theater as you knew it too. Everything here sparkles with an ultrapop cyberspace aura.
The four performers are reminiscent of Power Ranger superheroes, Pokemon, and the sexy being that is Cardi B. Everything unfolds in a camp atmosphere, filled with snapshots from the lives of borderline millennials, TikTok-style choreographies, and Britney Spears music videos, all set alongside deeply confessional selfies and memes on the controversial relationships between socio-environmental justice and social media platforms. Except that what’s posted here is the collective rage and urgency of an entire generation, coupled with the fierce humor that pervades it.
