Spectacle creator and political prankster. Lemons first discovered theatre as a street performer. He is most proud of a “Performance art piece in front of San Francisco’s ICE office protests detention of immigrant children”. For fun, Lemons uses art to transform (usually boring) public spaces in the SF financial district— CATFISH, Journey to the End of the Night, Google Spirit Halloween Prank, and other weirdness. Lemons can be found telling the “story of our people”, rolling improv story dice, lasering graffiti stencils, and making theatre props out of repurposed materials.
