Description

Directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman return to PIFF with TAYLOR MAC’S 24-DECADE HISTORY OF POPULAR MUSIC, a concert documentary of MacArthur “Genius” Award-winner Taylor Mac’s audacious and emotional performance piece of the same name. Over an emotionally and physically exhausting 24 hours, Taylor and a huge supporting cast chart a subversive history of the United States through a unique mash-up of music, history, performance, and art that were popular throughout the country from 1776 to the present day. Epstein and Friedman expertly distill this down to a brisk 116 minutes while capturing the full scope and pageantry of the landmark production.
