Taylor Mac’s
24-Decade History
of Popular Music

In 2013, Pomegranate Arts first partnered with with acclaimed performance artist Taylor Mac to co-produce his most ambitious (and our most unforgettable) work to date – a unique 24-part performance art concert series that creates a subjective history of America since its founding in 1776. Years in development, the project culminated in a one-time 24-hour marathon performance for a sold-out audience at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY on October 8, 2016. A decade later, Taylor performs abridged versions of this genre-defying work — continuing to reimagine history as a dazzling, deeply personal musical experience.

Pomegranate Arts’s first feature film documents Mac's joyous, challenging, and ostentatiously queer 24-hour musical performance. Featuring virtuoso musicians, innovative costumes, and the American myth as told by sailor's ditties, disco, and sugary pop alike, Mac's cathartic celebration is not to be missed. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2023 and can be streamed on Max.
