Us
Consolidated Works presents internationally acclaimed performance artist Tim Miller in his fast, funny and furious new show, Us. Us intertwines Miller's life-long love affair with Broadway musicals with explorations of gay marriage, exile and the injustices lesbian and gay people face in the United States today. Miller takes us on a whirl wind journey that re-thinks the American Musical as inspiration for radical politics and queer identity.
"Tim Miller sings that song of the self which interrogates, with explosive, exploding, subversive joy and freedom, the constitution and borderlines of selfhood. You think you don't need to hear such singing? You do! You must!"
-Tony Kushner
