Tar Baby (2020)

Let's Beat The Sh*t Out Of Racism

It took over 200 years to build America but takes performance artist Desiree Burch under two hours to dismantle it. Tar Baby is a retelling of America’s infamous black & white love affair, from shotgun wedding to “post-racial” open relationship. Co-written with playwright Dan Kitrosser and performed by Desiree, this solo and interactive performance piece tackles America’s black and white love affair and the story of race. Games, amusements, audience participation, and cultural atrocities meet in this interactive carnival of Race & Capitalism—where no one’s a winner, but everyone’s still playing!
