Haunted by Blue

Three months after Dena Yago unpacked the Blue Man Group’s metamorphosis from an experimental art collective to a global entertainment brand as part of MPR's first series ➚Love Thy Network, she continues to be haunted by the Blue Men. "This was just on the top of someone’s free pile on their stoop this weekend, from 1992." In her program, "➚Touching Blue," Dena explores the commodification of creative subcultures and the limits of collective autonomy through the lens of capitalist realism.
