Holiday Sauce... Pandemic! (2020)

Christmas as Calamity. Holiday Sauce blends music, film, burlesque and random acts of fabulousness in the most subversive and cathartic event of the season. 2020 Ibsen Award winner and MacArthur Fellow Taylor Mac (who uses "judy" as a gender pronoun) invites long-time collaborators and surprise special guests to celebrate the holidays in all of their dysfunction. There is more to the holidays than rampant capitalism and gift giving- in Taylor's world, creativity and imagination are their own spirituality. Taylor Mac reminds us of the collective power of our chosen families, a message that rings true in what is for so many a distinctly bittersweet season. When the 2020 tour was cancelled due to the COVID pandemic, the show was reimagined as Holiday Sauce...Pandemic. A Virtual Vaudeville and was broadcast live to Taylor Mac's international community over three performances and made available on demand over the 2020 holiday season.
