Concept
America “250” is a devised work by the Yun Theatre Ensemble marking the 250th anniversary of the United States. There was no script: 22 artists spent two weeks building the piece from historical research, oral history, and collective creation, using improvisation, verbatim theatre, and physical theatre.
Process
The ensemble began devising in late June and presented two performances on July 4th, 2026. A follow-up archival screening and Q&A was held on October 3rd, 2026.
