About This Show

The Global Warming Dunking Booth is an interactive performance/installation wherein The Statue of Liberty is re-incarnated as a cabaret performer, awaiting her fate. Audience members are invited to join in a game of bingo. The numbers they draw signify activities that affect global warming and sea levels, positively and negatively, and trigger responses affecting the ‘water’ surrounding her, via sensors. As participants’ actions affect the inundation of the Statue of Liberty, she interacts with them, heckling and cajoling, invoking the images of the freedom that she is meant to represent. Whether she is dunked or not is up to you!
