Um, Jennifer?

At PACNYC: Perelman Performing Arts Center, *Um, Jennifer?* lands in New York as a rock/pop performance shaped like a documentary in real time. It traces a public figure’s image as it slips between confession, control, and the noise of the feed, with songs functioning as evidence as much as release. The work reads as part of a downtown lineage of hybrid music-theater, using pop form to examine authorship and spectatorship. Its sharpest move is how it treats “relatability” as a kind of contract the audience is asked to sign.
