The Exponential Festival presents Sunlight After Dark by Reed Rushes

Sunlight After Dark is a surreal multimedia performance about men who want to privatize the sky. Featuring Reed Rushes as their drag king persona Stan alongside a stellar cast, the show follows the real-life co-founder of geoengineering startup Reflect Orbital, who promises “sunlight after dark.”

Reflect Orbital promises “sunlight after dark” through mirrors placed in Earth’s orbit. You can buy light, block light, redirect light, simply through an app on your phone.

Join Stan in the meteorologist’s room. A world of lust, money, and men. Strap in. They’re harvesting sunshine, and there’s a storm brewing…

Through drag, dance, live video, and slapstick humor, Reed Rushes deep-dives into the world of venture capitalists and their environmental impact, using this research to build a unique universe.

Runtime: 60 min
