mAKE aMERICA gIGGLE aGAIN (2025)

In mAKE aMERICA gIGGLE aGAIN, clowns take center stage in this cheeky indictment of American political theater. Set against the U.S. Capitol and a dizzying black-and-white illusion paper backdrop, the absurdity of governance is laid bare…complete with polka dots, painted smiles, and hollow pageantry. In Make America Giggle Again, Hannah transforms the machinery of power into a surreal circus, inviting viewers to question who’s really running the show. Are these jesters here to entertain? Distract? Destroy? In a world where spectacle too often replaces substance, the joke lands hard… and it’s on all of us.
