BREAKDOWN
SYNOPSIS:
Mondo Tragic is a live audio-drama that investigates how shockumentaries (or mondo films) from the 60' and 70's shaped a bi-racial man's racial journey. When the lead character becomes captivated by the prospect of documenting the life of a public figure, he is forced to reckon with memory and fantasy, film and documentary, Blackness and Africaness. Mondo Tragic is a genre-bending, multi-media, socially conscious, an experimental piece exploring form to find the truth.
