Discharges from American History

I was asked to be the artist-in-residence at the Washington Square Hotel By Brooklyn design firm CMYK. I wrote a play called “Kristina Wong’s Discharges from American History”. Basically, I had a company of “historic re-enactors” re-enact all the American political scandals that have gone down in hotel rooms. It was invigorating to have this deadline. I spent weekends at cafes reading Anthony Weiner’s texts and then putting them in play format. It was an immersive play for 8 audience members at a time but a cast of 14 actors (all honors students from Arizona State!)! We enacted the Trump Russian Golden Shower scandal as the finale. Directed by Jenessa Joffe.
Assisted direction by Mathew Sandoval.
