HBO's 'Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music' Doc Trailer

"This isn't like a regular concert." HBO has revealed an official trailer for documentary film called Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music, which is less of a music history doc and more of a unique concert film. It's premiering next week at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival before streaming on Max later this month. The film captures Taylor Mac's exuberant, blatantly gay 24-hour musical performance in NYC in 2016, featuring skilled musicians, creative costumes, and the American myth as recounted through sailor's ditties, disco, & sugary pop. "Rich with stunning musical performances, surprising and revelatory historical interpretation, comedic banter, and audience interaction, the performance is intercut with intimate off-stage interviews with Mac and his closest collaborators. In the interview, Mac, who uses the gender pronoun 'judy,' outlines judy's personal story and artistic aim 'to dream the culture forward.' The film also offers a behind-the-scenes window into the work of costume designer Machine Dazzle, who incorporates elaborate, humorous references to American life in each of the 24 decades depicted in Mac's" extravagant outfits. Fun. // Continue Reading ›
