TICKETS + INFORMATION

The “artist lectures” created by visual artist Suzanne Bocanegra should never work. They’re theatricalized talks, using props and other visual media, given by Bocanegra through the medium of an actor who repeats words fed to them through an earpiece by Bocanegra, sitting on the side of the stage. But what they end up doing is mediating the proceedings, so it’s not just a lecture but a meditation on theater and authenticity. To the extent the content matters, this one addresses Bocanegra’s obsession with a 16th Century tapestry in the Met’s collection called Honor.  I think Lili Taylor has done more of these than any other actor. The perfectly chosen Geoff Sobelle directs.
