“Of the many lecture-performances I’ve seen over the past twenty years, few have been as exhilarating. … The finale was breathtaking and euphoric.” —Claire Bishop, Artforum (Best of 2022)
This slyly subversive performance by conceptual artist Suzanne Bocanegra masquerades as a medieval art lecture before swiftly transforming into an irreverent and hilarious critique foregrounding the work and worldview of women over time. Performed by celebrated film actor Lili Taylor and centered on one of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s greatest tapestries, Honor is a brilliant weave of musical and theatrical elements that emerge in surprising and delightful ways. Directed by Geoff Sobelle (The Object Lesson).
