B: I was at the end of a particularly good year for me when A, my mentor and former teacher, called me up. It was during a thunderstorm. —Hey A!
A: I have to… I think I’m gonna kill her.
B: … Kill who? (no answer) A? Who are you killing?
A: Carmelita Tropicana.
(A loud crack of THUNDER.)

Thus begins Give Me Carmelita Tropicana!—part love letter to an iconic performance artist, part intergenerational debate about the legacy of “downtown” New York, part theatrical interrogation of the uses/abuses of nostalgia, real estate, “representation” and the “avant-garde,” 100% fantastical journey in which Branden Jacobs-Jenkins attempts to buy Carmelita Tropicana from her creator… but at what cost?
