The Inauguration
Experience 240 years worth of American pop music in one incredible night.
Overview
American musician, playwright and drag performer Taylor Mac headlines this year's Melbourne Festival with centrepiece event A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, an epic performance covering 240-years of American pop-culture across 24-hours of on-stage spectacle. The Inauguration is Taylor's compressed version, a 90 minute performance that hits the major musical milestones. Accompanied by his five-piece band, Taylor takes the audience on a journey through the chaotic and contested history of the United States. While not quite as epic as the full version, The Inauguration still promises to be a fascinating encounter with one of the world's most acclaimed stage acts.
