Join us on Free Third Thursday, November 16 for My Barbarian, a collective consisting of Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade, who will perform a staged reading of "The Mother and Other Plays, " previously presented at the Whitney Biennial 2014, among other venues nationally.
This live adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s "The Mother" (first performed in 1932), includes original musical numbers and improvised content, and also maintains the Brechtian concept of the Lehrstück, or learning-play, by inviting audience members to participate in select scenes.
A play about the revolutionary potential of motherhood, My Barbarian's "The Mother and Other Plays" offers audiences a theatrical, and critical, performance experience.
Refreshments will be available for purchase from The Kitchen.
