My Barbarian

Working at the intersection of theater, visual arts, and critical practice, My Barbarian (Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon, and Alexandro Segade) uses performance to theatricalize historic problems and imagine ways of being together. Currently in residence at the New Museum, My Barbarian presents the culmination of an eight-year project, Post-Living Ante-Action Theater, which began there in 2008. The accompanying exhibition, The Audience is Always Right, responds to legacies of revolutionary theater from the 1960s to present.
