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. Oscar-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman adapt this tour de force performance in all its righteous outrage and radical humanity in this feature length documentary.

Q&A with artists Taylor Mac and Machine Dazzle, directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and producers Joel Stillerman, Linda Brumbach, and Alisa Regas follows the screening.

Masking is strongly encouraged at all screenings at The Clairidge when not eating or drinking. Please visit this page for our full set of COVID-19 safety protocols.
