AMERICAN: THE PLAY Premieres at SWIM Gallery in San Francisco on April 26th, 2025 at 2pm.

AMERICAN: THE PLAY is a living play that delves into the multifaceted narratives of Artists living in the United States in 2025. Set against the backdrop of a nation grappling with division and mass deportations, the play explores themes of belonging, reflection, and the pursuit of the American Dream. The theme of identity gets interpreted using a blend of physical expression, poetry, rap, dance and performance art.

The ensemble cast features:

• Alien Mac Kitty
  
  

• Angela
  
  

• Cordon Concepts
  
  

• Forced2fly
  
  

• Kaila Love
  
  

• Sawhee
  
  

• Sennyo Ookami
  
  

The production boasts a minimalist aesthetic, with all characters clad in black attire and ski masks to symbolize the shadows of America—the unseen and unheard voices within the nation. The narrative unfolds through a series of evocative scenes, each set against powerful visual backdrops, including paintings like "American Rat Race" , “United States of Reflection” and the "Cholo Flag."

AMERICAN: THE PLAY is presented during Forced2fly's artist residency at SWIM Gallery for the month of April 2025, a period dedicated to showcasing paintings, poetry, and performance art that reflect contemporary societal themes.

This is a one day only event happening on April 26, 2025, with a showtime of 2pm. Tickets are available for purchase at www.Forced2fly.com. For more information, please email [email protected]
