Secret Joy, 2019

Secret Joy is the second in a quartet of  performances engaging the desire for retribution played out in the transformations of monumental sculptural figures. Gregory Barnett and Dani O'Terry play Rea and Bea, actors in a parallel world whose attempts at “revolutionary theater” are sabotaged by the pleasure they take in performing as victims and victors. Research for this project was facilitated by the Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship. Photos by Julie Weitz and Ian Byers Gamber
