Entering 2020, New Year decorations capitalized on “20/20 vision,” “the roaring 20s” and other such optimistic phrases. However, the year 2020 took a drastic turn with the COVID-19 pandemic, throwing the world into a collectively and historically horrible year and leaving us with no perky puns, except that hindsight is 20/20.
Directed and created by Rebecca Haley Clark, in collaboration with Those Women Productions and an exceptionally talented team of artists, “HINDSIGHT 2020” encapsulates the universal experiences of longing, disconnection and endurance that 2020 produced in us all, from baking bread to working at home to illness the good, the bad and the ugly.
Through a collage of multimedia art forms and images, “HINDSIGHT 2020” contemplates and laments the unique challenges posed by last year, using the production as a fascinating and relatable form of catharsis.
