The International Human Rights Art Festival at Tank Theater
Sixty new productions will be showcased over one week including new musicals, plays, musical acts, and dance pieces.

During the week, twelve performance blocks will be presented which will feature a mix of genres and include specific themes such as a Celebration of Women, Celebration of Immigration, Celebration of Human Rights, and Climate Change Action, among others.

Three short musicals will be presented including ANOTHER COUSIN’S WEDDING, where a closeted gay man is about to be set up with a traditional marriage, TURBULANCE follows three people who end up helping each other overcome fears on a flight from New Jersey to Milwaukee, and BIG ASS SECRET about a gay Florida highschooler.

Twenty-five dance pieces will be presented including MOTHER EARTH, LET ME BLOOM!, a multi-layered, dance theater experience that centers on the euphoria, dysmorphia, and oppression of the trans and genderqueer community, ECHOES, a contemporary, hip-hop, and traditional Filipinx dance forms, elevated by cutting-edge motion capture technology, and WE RISE that addresses the critical issue of domestic violence, aiming to uplift and empower women worldwide.

Twenty-four theatre pieces will be showcased including the short play ƎVERYTHING OKAY, where a family relocates to Mars to avoid the problems the earth faces, MOONLIGHT BECOMES YOU, set in a haunted Provincetown Bed & Breakfast, a young lesbian couple discover the queer trailblazers who came before, and LUCY JOSEPH, that centers around a 19th century gender non-conforming pioneer Lucy Ann Joseph Israel Lobdell.
