Description

The first comprehensive monograph on My Barbarian, a groundbreaking collective of performers, offers new insights into their theatrical art and social commitments. This publication charts the group's performances and explores their use of performance to address pressing issues, adapting narratives from modern plays, historical texts, and mass media. A richly illustrated visual chronology accompanies this volume, featuring texts on each of My Barbarian's past works written by the artists themselves. The book also includes re-created performances and video works, using stills alongside photos, drawings, scripts, and personal materials drawn from the artists' archives, many never previously published. Distributed for a major retrospective celebrating the group's twentieth anniversary, this monograph provides a unique perspective on My Barbarian's work within the context of contemporary experimental performance.
