Jared and Ivanka Live Tristan Powell & Bob Kalas
About This Show
Jared and Ivanka Live deconstructs invisibilized structures of power and access. Beginning with images and surfaces and moving toward a more interior contemplation on American values and the unintelligible hypocrisy of the First Family, the performance then moves toward somatic ways of understanding and embellishment with respect to public image and nefarious dealings. Jared and Ivanka are people, ideas, placeholders, and exist as a phenomenon that needs unpacking, critique, and honest reflection.
