Performance | Disclaimer: A Classic Whodunnit (virtual)


Disclaimer: This LIVE in-Zoom event contains propaganda, vague promises of Persian food, minimally invasive audience participation, and (gasp) MURDER.

Help prevent a perpetually impending war from the safety of your home! Disclaimer examines identity and fear, the stakes of cultural (mis)representation, the quest for togetherness, and the seductiveness of a classic whodunnit.
