Random Acts of Flyness from artist Terence Nance (An Oversimplification of Her Beauty) explores evergreen cultural idioms such as patriarchy, white supremacy and sensuality from a new, thought-provoking perspective.A fluid, stream-of-conscious response to the contemporary American mediascape, each episode of Random Acts of Flyness features a handful of interconnected vignettes, showcasing an ensemble cast of emerging and established talent. The show is a mix of verité documentary, musical performances, surrealist melodrama and humorous animation. Nance and his collaborators weave together such themes as ancestral trauma, history, death, the singularity, romance and more, creating a television show like nothing seen before.
Terence Nance introduces RANDOM ACTS OF FLYNESS before being stopped by the NYPD. Segments include: "Everybody Dies!," a cable-access show hosted by "Ripa the Reaper"; an infomercial for a topical-ointment cure for "white thoughts"; and a talk show on sex in the black community.
This week's program begins with a video game to train an army of black women to defend themselves against aggressors. A gender-diverse group of subjects talk about the performance of gender. A wise uncle attempts to program his nephews on how not to be creepy. Speaking of creepy, Wendy gets lured into ''Nuncaland,'' the Dominican-American fable inspired by a classic children's story.
This week's program moves from the story of an afro that goes to prison for ''badness''' to a family mourning a high-profile case of police violence. Also, does the Second Amendment apply to black people? Contestants on the game show ''Hotep Squares'' are asked about that, and many more questions on this week's Random Acts of Flyness.
