Woolly Mammoth presents: A Fine Madness

We are thrilled to partner with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company for their touring presentation of A Fine Madness—created and performed by Justin Weaks, directed by Raymond O Caldwell. Here, Justin invites us to the intersection of ‘performance’ and ‘event’ for a radical act of remembrance. 

Inspired by the mission of the Voyager Golden Record, A Fine Madness calls on its audience to participate in the creation of a new record of shared humanity through a kaleidoscope of poetry, games, music, scientific findings and storytelling. Through retelling and reclaiming his own personal journey as a Black gay man living in Washington D.C. and newly diagnosed with HIV, Justin seeks to create a new archive that is inclusive of his lived experience and those of the people in the room. As the line blurs between performer and audience, space opens for discovery and healing. 

A Fine Madness is both experiment and celebration, experience and discovery, and an act of affirmation in the face of erasure. For the record!
