"The mask for me is essential. I created this performance project knowing that I would be wearing a mask. [...] The mask makes everything possible." – Narcissister

For Performa 17, PARTICIPANT presents video and performance by Narcissister, whose live works deploy humor, pop songs, elaborate costumes, and her trademark mask – all tools in dismantling what Stuart Hall calls "fixed and closed stereotypical representations.” Short-form live works are interspersed with performances made for camera, allowing for multiple costume changes. Three evenings for Performa 17 will precede Narcissister’s major gallery-based installation to be staged at PARTICIPANT this spring. 

PERFORMANCE TIMES:
Friday, Nov 3, 7pm
Saturday, Nov 4, 7pm
Sunday, Nov 5, 7pm
