Justin Allen:
Explain Totality (version 7)

November 15 - 16, 2019

When America screams, how does it sound? Performer Justin Allen uses moshing and screaming vocals to reflect on the evolution and aesthetics of hardcore punk and the suburban landscape of his youth. History, geography, and music collide in this physical reflection on subculture, personal experience, and catharsis.
