THE LILY'S REVENGE

Taylor Mac and company tell the tale of a self-uprooted lily who goes on a quest to combat its oppressors and destroy nostalgia! The Lily's Revenge is a 5-hour, 5-part epic event that acts as a response to the ever-growing homogeny in the world around us. Through puppets, elaborate costume designs, live music, and vaudevillian theatrics Mac brings back the macabre, and reveals our national pastime of melancholy remembrances. Named one of New York's best in 2007 by both The Village Voice and The New York Press, Taylor Mac is a theatre artist working in the genre of pastiche.
