the purple people party

the purple republic is an all-new human collective

joining art. theatre. & discourse.

with philosophy. people. & science.

by means of dialogue. happenings. & love.

to produce policy. politicians. & paradigms.

the purple path is a collective awakening —

& the shape of democracy to come — representative. curious. playful.

of, by, and for the people.

our goal is to foster a different conversation — one that bears plump fruit.

from performance art to president — a politically-charged meditation on ideas — on hope, fear, community, war, education, addiction, love, loss, god, improv, art, and what it means to be alive today.

current initiatives include purple performance art, a purple play, the society of purple people — politicians, philosophers, painters, & poets, a purple bowling league, and absurd purple happenings — events that push a rebellion made of velvet

purple — because life is more than a red & blue thing

… the bridge between reality and dream is effort — jump aboard the carousel of consciousness, we’re soon off to find the soul of a nation

. . . bernie sanders ripped the bandaid, donald trump is the seventy-one cent rubbing alcohol, the purple party is the salve to heal our collective wounds.

in this all-new, original production by purple republic, we follow the absurd primary campaigns and private lives of three longshot senate candidates vying for the official nod and nomination from the up-and-coming purple party in the 2018 election

welcome to the dawning of PORWMA (post-old-rich-white-man’s america).

a not-so-distant land where philosophers, artists, queers, immigrants, poor people, and minorites of every stripe can get elected if only they have brains, heart, and ideas enough to inspire a populace to show up and punch the ticket.

our goal is simple: bridge the divides that have our planet stuck. and do it in a way that celebrates life, that radically embraces the shared quantum entanglement of each of the 7+ billion unique human journeys living together on this magical planet.

through tough public dialogues and playful performance art — we can get at the root of our divisions and participate in a harmonious shared experience.

our sincere hope is to:

  • inspire a movement that rattles the collective consciousness of our country
  • ask and answer the question: who are we, america?
  • get purple party candidates on the 2018 ballot

from city commission to senate — it’s time for a representative government that looks like those it purports to represent.

life is theatre where we are all cast lead roles in our own production — help us incubate the perfect candidate

get involved! come to an event, see one of our shows, join our purple bowling league, donate, volunteer, tell your friends, make a video or host an event, & sign the petition to get the purple party officially on the ballot !

the purple party — because democracy, like life — is greater than a red or blue thing.
