$25

A science fiction saga about corporate boybands and holographic newscasters crowd-controlling a society of clones, Future St. is a speculative, multimedia theater epic exploring desire, surveillance and the sinister forces of normalization. As California becomes “Clonifornia,” a homosexual police state enforces strict marriage codes among the monitored populace, and an intersectional resistance--made up of queer mutant dissidents and an ancient feminist underground—plots its overthrow.

August’s Summer Happening is inspired by themes of globalization, surveillance and the underlying systems and forces at work in the world that make up the current exhibition Oracle.
