Secret Joy: Gregory Barnett and Dani O'Terry play Rea and Bea, actors whose attempts at replaying scenes of state power being toppled are sabotaged by the pleasures they take at rehearsing both victim and torturer. Following the presentation of "Punishment's Place" in the fall of 2018, "Secret Joy" is the second in a quartet of performances engaging the desire for retribution played out in the transformations of monumental sculptural figures.
Research for this project was facilitated by the Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship.
