Rue Bainbridge: I’ll Wear a Mask for You is an existential media-opera developed in response to the pandemic. Mask brings together experiences and sensations from disparate moments of American life in 2020. Composed during lockdown and an urgent road trip between the first and second COVID-19 peaks, the network performance manipulates material captured under conditions of granular polity and mediated anxieties. In response to the radical constriction of our physical worlds and our forced emigration into the Metaverse, Mask dramatizes the symbolic resonances and politicization of masks. Karaoke in an iron lung... a humorous mosaic dredged from our collective mindscape... pantomiming intimacy, global and emotional corruption.
