Featuring original music and puppetry, this surreal dark comedy from interdisciplinary artist Edgar Arceneaux follows an eccentric family on individual yet intertwined journeys. The story centers around Sunny, a self-loathing artist who struggles to finish his script about the infamous pop duo Milli Vanilli while coping with Momma\u2019s (his mother, a failed pop singer) slow fade into dementia. Meanwhile, his freeloading brother Bro Bro begins a misguided adaption of the controversial Disney film\u00a0Song of the South<\/em>\u00a0into a play about Black liberation. Each performance opens with a 1990s-themed karaoke party in the Walker\u2019s Cityview Bar.<\/p>\n
