MOTHERLAND
Motherland, a fantastical satire of the 2016 election cycle, was a video and performance piece, developed while Corrigan was Issue Project Room’s 2016 Artist in Residence. A video series was released episodically on Bomb Magazine in the months leading up to the election and, featured Corrigan playing a “Weimar Millenial” alongside Felix Bernstein, with Cammisa Buerhaus as Hillary Clinton.
The residency culminated with a play Corrigan wrote, directed, and starred in, (called Motherland), which was produced for another run at the Brick Theater’s This Is Not Normal festival in June 2017.
