An Artist Lecture By Suzanne Bocanegra, starring Lili Taylor

Part of Hancher's Infinite Dream festival

Part of Hancher Up Close

Part of Hancher's 53rd season

Looking back on a childhood spent in the shadow of the Chicken Ranch.

Suzanne Bocanegra recounts threads of her family’s life on a Texas farm. Her tale unfolds as aural and visual memoir, weaving elements of art, design, and monologue into a startling, humorous performance. The narration comes from Bocanegra, but it is actress Lili Taylor (Mystic Pizza, Six Feet Under) who mimes the emotions and breakthroughs to the audience. It’s a disquieting American story delivered at a remove that is—surprisingly—an unusual kind of intimacy.

“Memoir mixes with cultural history as a slideshow incorporates Bocanegra’s arresting visual sensibility…” – LA Times

“Suzanne Bocanegra’s art is an antidote to the history-free, prepackaged world that threatens every day to overwhelm us. Her work is also beautiful.” – The New Yorker
