Description
STAR SPANGLED MANOR is an interdisciplinary dance-theater work structured as a live laboratory for interrogating the colonialist ideology of “The American Dream.” Through dance theater, projection, set design, sound scoring, and bodily prosthetics, the piece navigates aesthetics of surveillance and rave culture to expose how systems of power shape collective consciousness. Framed through a queer lens, the body becomes a charged site of resistance, rupture, and transformation. The work traces the tension between order and chaos, revealing how stabilizing structures often expose their own contradictions. By staging this unraveling, it gestures toward the fragile veneer of national ideals and how quickly they fracture under pressure. Yet the piece does not end in dissolution; as chaos mounts and clarity emerges, it opens portals, moments that invite our participants to reconsider the architectures governing daily life and imagine the possibility of remaking, and collective futures beyond constraint.
