In 14 UnNatural Acts, interdisciplinary artists Roberto Sifuentes and Lián Sifuentes explore a political landscape ruled by fear and religious zealotry, in a culture where civil liberties are put in jeopardy for the sake of security. From homeland security to extreme reality television – from video games to military training – from game shows to evangelism -the characters and audience wind their way through a psycho-sexual-political labyrinth, as witnesses, perpetrators and agents. The result is a performance that uses satire, humor and spectacle to peel away our protective layers of comfort and reveal society’s fears, desires and obsessions.
