“Mixes pop music, a burial ceremony, and great dance performances … a reflection on the impossible truth that artists are seeking.” —PARIS LA

Featuring original music and puppetry, this surreal dark comedy from interdisciplinary artist Edgar Arceneaux follows an eccentric family on individual yet intertwined journeys. The story centers around Sunny, a self-loathing artist who struggles to finish his script about the infamous pop duo Milli Vanilli while coping with Momma’s (his mother, a failed pop singer) slow fade into dementia. Meanwhile, his freeloading brother Bro Bro begins a misguided adaption of the controversial Disney film Song of the South into a play about Black liberation. Each performance opens with a 1990s-themed karaoke party in the Walker’s Cityview Bar.

Part of Out There 2025.
