San Francisco Mime Troupe: AMERICAN DREAMS


  • Lakeside Park - (Lake Merritt) in front of the Edoff Memorial Bandstand 666 Bellevue Avenue Oakland, CA, 94610 United States (map)

The American Dream. It used to mean a job, a house, a car, a spouse, 2.5 kids, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For Gabriel Pearce, on the day after the presidential election, it means victory. As a Black man tired of liberal failures, giving up on progressive promises of justice wasn’t easy. But casting his vote for a Conservative who promise to be grateful could mean a dream come true. But for his daughter, Paine, it’s a nightmare! Or was democracy just a dream? Or was the lost election a dream? Or will the climate catch fire first, like her boyfriend sees when he sleeps, or can it be the utopia they both hope for? And what about A.I.? Do androids dream of electronic voting? But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see as… American Dreams.

The show runs 80 min. – no intermission.
