Liberation Day

Liberation Day takes on ideas of power, ethics and justice, cutting to the very heart of what it means to live in community with our fellow humans.

In a Hell-themed section of an underground amusement park, a man is confused with everything he has taken for granted about his reality. In coded emails, a grandfather advises his grandson on how to survive an autocratic regime. A political protestor for hire struggles to remember who used to be. 

These nine wickedly funny stories encompass joy and despair, oppression and revolution, bizarre fantasy and brutal reality.
