Watch The Bullies Dance

Watch The Bullies Dance stars the ghost of circus impresario P.T. Barnum, who is angry that he has been compared to fellow showman Donald Trump. They both love to sell tickets but P.T. has principles.

In a reverse of her usual process, Ara created the material in winter 2017 as a series of short films with Peter Cunningham whose grandmother was famous for handing out condoms for Planned Parenthood in Harvard Square. The pieces were linked and performed on stage for The Resistance Cabaret at Improv/ Boston in May, Norte Maar’s Brooklyn Performance Combine in June, The American Dance Guild Festival in September and The 2018 APAP Conference in NYC.
