Manifest Destiny

Presented at Neue Bühne Friedrichshain in Berlin (13th-16th March 2025) and Republika Sztuki Tłusta Langusta in Poznań (29th June 2022), this show is an immersive musical journey into US American extremism. Through music, visual storytelling, and audience interaction, Manifest Destiny explores how radicalization thrives in the cultural and historical fabric of the US.
