Gloria’s Cause

Mixing rock music from an eight-piece band, incisive theatrical elements and virtuosic dancing, Hanson exhumes the colonies’ complex players and offers warped replays of iconic moments like the signing of the Declaration of Independence in a layered, colorful and gritty look at the roots of America’s inequities and ironies. As election year politics heat up, and our nation’s founding impulses are invoked in clashing interpretations, Hanson’s production takes on potent political charge.
