Catch 5th of July Weekend Spectacular

Taking place the day after the Fourth of July, CATCH — the Obie Award-winning, itinerant performance series — convenes artists and audience for an unruly evening of performance that considers the complexities of American history and this moment, staged in a building first erected as a munitions warehouse and repurposed as a 40,000-square-foot cultural destination.

Hosted by Carmelita Tropicana — "a feminist, sex-positive lesbian from Havana who borrows stereotypes to send them up, campily ridiculing bigotry, misogyny, machismo, colonialism" (The New York Times) — the evening is a raucous reconsideration of a loaded holiday.

Featuring: Saúl Ulerio, Martita Abril, Sugar Vendil, miriam elhajli, Hamed Sinno, Cat Rodriguez, evan ray suzuki, (Amy) Rose Khoshbin, Cristina Moya-Palacios, Aditi Juneja / Democracy 2076
