Support “The People’s Palace” at SF City Hall

Co-presented by Zaccho Dance Theatre and Dancers Group, “The People’s Palace” is a new site-specific installation performance inside San Francisco’s iconic City Hall.

Scheduled to premiere in May 2024, “The People's Palace” is an artistic intervention with City Hall’s Beaux-Arts Roman and Greek iconography. Aerialists and performers will interact with the architecture and large scale projections, transforming these symbols into new, more inclusive narratives that more accurately reflect San Francisco's diverse and dynamic cultures and community. Through performance, music, storytelling, and immersive technologies, “The People's Palace” invites the audience to actively engage these new narratives, to see themselves within the broader context of the city, and to appreciate the richness of diverse perspectives.
