It’s 2040. The United States is still recovering from a devastating yet oddly familiar event that nobody saw coming. Out of the ashes of the tragedy rises a memorial museum—The National Museum of American Reconciliation—dedicated to preserving the memories of the day when everything changed.
MUSEUM 2040 is an immersive theater piece that memorializes and explains a series of national uprisings and protests that were figuratively—and literally—ignited by an act of political terrorism. Part performance piece, part exhibit, MUSEUM 2040 asks us to consider the politics of memory and national identity.
