ACT LATE NIGHT: August Edition

Edwin Salas and Mike Andersen revive their award‑winning ritual-performance tracing an undocumented immigrant’s transformation into a citizen, an ICE officer, an exile, and a false messiah. Through piano, projection, and grotesque movement, the piece confronts whiteness, power, and state violence. If you’re angry about what’s happening now, this show speaks directly to that urgency.

For audiences 18+ (sensitive content)
