Passion of the Frog: a Meme Musical Experience

THE STORY
Our story begins at the height of Pepé's fame on the mainstream Internet: he is chill and fun loving, and adored by the Meme community. However, Pepé is then struck with a disease that drains him of his "Meme Magick" and his popularity starts to dwindle. He and his best buddy, Drake, set out on a journey to find an antidote for the disease and to find immortality on the Internet.

Meanwhile, Kermit the Frog employs his cunning partners (Alex Jones, Tomi Lauren, Milo Yiannopoulos) to ensnare Pepé so they can use his popularity to promote the Alt-Right. Once Pepé and Drake set foot in the Deep Web, the duo separates and Pepé must fend for himself, but sure enough he is led deeper into the Web by Tomi and Alex.

Kermit convinces Pepé that the Alt-Right can help him find his Meme Magick again and red pills him. Kermit's grip on Pepé tightens and our hero is soon co-opted into a symbol of hate and a bonafide anti-Semitic meme.

THE DEAL
On October 14th 2016 the Anti-Defmation League (ADL) started their #SavePepe campaign in order to reclaim Pepe the Frog from racist online fringe groups.

All proceeds of this event will be donated to the ADL of New York City to help combat hate-speech and anti-Semitism on and off the Internet.

Recommended Donation is 5 dollars per ticket.
