Reykjavik Arts Festival and The National Theatre of Iceland join forces to present one of the most remarkable stage artists today at Reykjavik Arts Festival 2022. 

For the last 20 years Mac has created internationally award-winning performance events that at once provoke and embrace diverse audiences—shows that don’t “just defy categorization; [Mac] makes the categories themselves seem irrelevant.” (TimeOut NY).

A 24-Decade History of Popular Music is Mac’s subjective history of America since its founding in 1776. The project chronicles the ways in which communities build themselves because they are being torn apart.  Years in development, the piece was originally performed as a one-time 24-hour event and was recognized on The New York Times’  2016 lists of Best Performances, Best Theater, and Best Music and earned its creator the 2020 Ibsen Prize for Drama.  

For this multi-award winning performer’s debut in Reykjavik, Mac has created a highly immersive and outrageously entertaining programme featuring music from the 24-Decade project along with new original songs.

Joined by Music director/Arranger Matt Ray, Costume Designer/Performer Machine Dazzle and an incomparable band, Mac appears on stage decked and bedazzled in gloriously irreverent regalia for a night that is “Startlingly unique…a must see for anyone who wants to see a kinder, gentler society.” (Huffington Post)
