In 2016, performance artist Taylor Mac took the stage for a one-time-only, 24-hour immersive theatrical experience, offering an alternative take on U.S. history through memorable music and elaborate costumes from the nation’s founding to the present. Produced and directed by Academy Award®-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (HBO’s The Celluloid Closet), this documentary captures Mac’s marathon performance, along with 24 musicians who help interpret a wide range of songs, from “Yankee Doodle” to “Gimme Shelter,” “Born to Run,” and “Gloria.” Intercut with intimate interviews with Mac and behind-the scenes-footage, Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music offers both stunning musical performances and an eye-opening interpretation of our nation’s past.
