Please put your hands together for a show that is often as gruesome as it is polarizing (and, let's just admit it: inconsistent) while reimagining many American histories: exploring lost colonies, unregulated asylums, witch trial burnings, the legacies of slavery, the collapsing two-party system, and the haunted spaces that exist all around us.
