This is the first book to dedicate critical attention to the work
of influential theater-maker Taylor Mac. Mac is particularly
celebrated for the historic performance event A 24-Decade History
of Popular Music, in which Mac, in fantastical costumes designed by
collaborator Machine Dazzle, sang the history of the United States
for 24 straight hours in October 2016. The MacArthur Foundation
soon thereafter awarded their "genius" award to a "writer,
director, actor, singer, and performance artist whose fearlessly
experimental works dramatize the power of theater as a space for
building community . . . [and who] interacts with the audience to
inspire a reconsideration of assumptions about gender, identity,
ethnicity, and performance itself." Featuring essays, interviews,
and commentaries by noted critics and artists, the volume examines
the vastness of Mac's theatrical imagination, the singularity of
their voice, the inclusiveness of their cultural insights and
critiques, and the creativity they display through stylistic and
formal qualities and the unorthodoxies of their personal and
professional trajectories. Contributors consider the range of Mac's
career as a playwright, performer, actor, and singer, expanding and
enriching the conversation on this much-celebrated and deeply
resonant body of work.
