Nile Harris: this house is not a home
Tickets & Info
“A whole kettleful of biting, boiling, truly gonzo theatricality that’s equal parts deadly serious and gleefully self- (and everyone-) mocking.” —Vulture
Brace yourself. In this house is not a home, Nile Harris tears apart the walls of American identity, literally and figuratively. Erecting an inflatable bounce house as a stand-in for institutions like the nonprofit arts sector and the besieged US Capitol, Harris stages a raucous demolition of white liberalism. Supported by dancer Malcom-x Betts and performance artist Crackhead Barney, this house is not a home eviscerates the circus of public discourse via improvised clownery and dark humor. Armed with irony, rage, and blaring live music, the show asks the question: what is left when the facade of “home” collapses?
