SUMMARY:this house is not a home
DESCRIPTION:\nPurchase tickets HERE\n\n\n\nBy Nile Harris\nPresented by Ab
 rons Arts Center and Ping Chong and Company\nPresented in partnership wit
 h Under the Radar Festival\nNile Harris's this house is not a home retur
 ns to Abrons Arts Center after its celebrated sold out run this past summe
 r. The experimental play is an assemblage of embodied expressions. The art
 ist turns to performance lecture\, minstrelsy\, and dance to intervene on 
 the tradition of theater and narrate incisive cultural critiques inspired 
 by collaborations with his close friend\, the late interdisciplinary artis
 t and filmmaker Trevor Bazile (born Miami\, FL\, 1996-2021). For Harris\, 
 the vapid and at times\, comedic absurdity of liberalism haunts the presen
 t day. A bounce castle\, saturated in saccharine reds and yellows\, evocat
 ive of childhood play\, represents instead the sinister monuments that com
 e and go in the wake of contemporary social and political catastrophe: a b
 esieged U.S capital\, a "well-intentioned" arts institution\, and the insi
 dious allyship of white liberal America\, all come crumbling down. Harris\
 , with collaborators Crackhead Barney and Malcom-x Betts is astute in chur
 ning the wheels of discomfort as he asks the following figuratively and li
 terally: What does it mean to be an American today? Will the revolution ha
 ve 501c3 status? And most importantly\, why "you niggas in trouble?"
