A Towering Trumpeter
On a lyrical journey satirizing the rise of an American iconoclast, the story follows Amos Moses’ unlikely rise to fame and fortune in his desperate search for adoration. Framed around an upside-down version of the Book of Exodus , the tale of childhood abandonment, salvation, love, betrayal, and assassination is propelled by American popular music, culture, and celebrity.
In his quest for idolization, after enduring a tumultuous and humiliating early life, Amos Moses finds himself leading his base of adoring right-wing fans in a battle against the oppressive tax and social policies of his former foster mother, Carmalita , the President of The Great Union of Territories. With his three pillars of support - his best friend, his crafty older brother, and his Devil-like father – and the considerable power of his record store brand The Towering Trumpets, behind him, Amos risks it all for worldwide glorification, or potential ignominy, in his run for the presidency.
