Shake off those gloomy feelings. Drive them away. Fix your mind and pleasures upon what is before you. All is bright if you will think it so. - General Robert E. Lee


Follow the Stranger to a land of freedom! Manifest Destiny is a satirical musical that explores how the culture and mythologies of the United States can lead to radicalization, extreme ideologies and violence. Through pop songs, visual storytelling, and interactivity, the audience becomes participants on a journey through a disorienting spectacle.
