"Americana" is a live theatre performance designed to be experienced virtually through Zoom. All graphics and overlays happen in real-time! Inspired by Dante's Inferno, the three-act performance focuses on violence, fraud, and treachery, the themes covered in Danto's 7th-9th layers of hell and commonly present in American media.

Materials: Isadora, After Effects, Canon XA40, Premiere Pro, and Zoom
