Pierce students celebrate philosophy with this mixed media event that combines digital video, live spoken word, visual art, and live performance while highlighting the creative exploration of philosophical ideas.
Students will create and present performances (up to four minutes) centered on the existential theme “Life is a Cabaret!” With this theme, the cabaret will explore ideas related to the meaning of life or lack thereof.
Performances include original songs, skits, monologues, videos, poetry, dance, performance art, etc. Students may also create artworks that reflect the theme to be displayed in the Great Hall. There will be an opportunity to participate in a group art project throughout the evening.
