About Taylor Mac & Matt Ray’s Bark of Millions: A Parade Trance Extravaganza

Part rock opera, part reimagined pride parade, this epic production will stage 55 original songs—one to mark each year since the landmark Stonewall uprising. It’s both a celebration and a gift to the queer canon, expanding the archive for generations to come. Co-directed by visionaries Niegel Smith and Faye Driscoll and showcasing the extravagance of Machine Dazzle’s costume design, Bark of Millions will be brought to life at Zellerbach Hall by an international ensemble of 22 artists. Bark of Millions is a transformative experience that celebrates the power of individuality and human connection. This once-in-a-lifetime event promises to shatter conventions, push boundaries, and bring a bold new perspective to our stage. As in his legendary retelling of American history A 24-Decade History of Popular Music, Mac and his artistic community use music, dance, and drag spectacle to subvert and deconstruct conventional narratives and joyfully, transgressively celebrate queerness in all its forms. Praise for Taylor Mac’s 24-Decade History of Popular Music ★★★★★ “Incredible. Nothing could prepare you for the brilliance…” Sydney Morning Herald “One of the great experiences of my life.” The New York Times ★★★★★ “Explosive, spectacular, heartbreaking ‘dandy revenge’…” The Guardian
