Manifest Destiny

Presented at Neue Bühne Friedrichshain in Berlin and Republika Sztuki Tłusta Langusta in Poznań, 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.
