Artist Conversation with Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society

The three creators of Real Enemies discuss with Cal Performances Executive and Artistic Director Jeremy Geffen how the project came into being, how conspiracy theories are manipulated by persons in position of power for their gain and how difficult it is to dismantle them once in place, how changing the format from stage to small screen has altered the piece and the pandemic-created challenges of recording numerous musicians who could not be together, and much more in this Beyond the Stage artist talk.

This artist conversation video was recorded in conjunction with the Darcy James Argue’s Secret Society; Real Enemies performance, part of the Cal Performances at Home Fall Season.

Go Beyond the Stage with behind-the-scenes artist talks and interviews, lectures and public forums with UC Berkeley faculty, recommended reading, and other interesting connections to the Cal Performances At Home programs.
