Jerusalem, Florida

Written by Molly Bicks and Carsen Joenk

Right now we feel moved to explore this central question: How do we rethink and rebuild a society that is in disarray?  We have set out to create a work that explores revolution through the lens of an 1890s anti-capitalist cult.  In 1892 Key West, a group of societal rejects comes to believe that they can channel God and manifest the Messiah through performance.

Based in the strangest American History you never heard, Jerusalem Florida is a story about the imagination, ego and insanity it might take to change the world.

Jerusalem, Florida is currently in the research phase of our devising process. Want to support us as we fold actors and designers into the next stage of our process?
