“The Company” is a fictional narrative work that follows an art collective in the aftermath of a pivotal decision to assimilate into a larger body, setting in motion dynamics of fear, disillusionment and desire. Tracing the history of the NEA 4 lawsuit (1990) and the 2008 financial crash, “The Company” considers political failures and their afterlives as systematic precarity; inviting slippages between fiction and reality, subject and object, performer and spectator.
Original cast: Brianna Gutierrez, Gisella Paéz, Ryan Pater, Andrew Smith, Lindsey Swyers
