A show within a show,\u00a0<em>Bride of the White Widow<\/em>\u00a0is an interactive play, exploring contemporary issues of cultural appropriation, globalism, and environmental collapse through song, dance, and games with the audience. A restaging of My Barbarian\u2019s\u00a0<em>Voyage of the White Widow<\/em>, originally commissioned by De Appel, Amsterdam, in 2006, and included in Performa 02 at the Whitney Museum, New York, the performance at\u00a0The Light Box in Miami explores\u00a0My Barbarian\u2019s sixteen-year journey as a performance collective.<\/p>\n<p>Working at the intersection of visual art, theater, and critical practice, My Barbarian uses performance to theatricalize social problems and imagine ways of being together. Founded in Los Angeles in 2000, the group\u2019s work moves through different modes that prepare for, present, and represent live performance: music composition, plays, and other texts; costumes, masks, puppets and sets; video; and drawings and prints. The group has performed and exhibited widely while maintaining a focus on the provocation of theatricality in the visual-art context. My Barbarian has been included in the Whitney Biennial, two Performa Biennials, two California Biennials, the Montreal Biennial, and the Baltic Triennial.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Barbarian: Bride of the White Widow <\/em><em>is part of <\/em><em>Living Together<\/em><em>, <\/em>curated by Rina Carvajal, MOAD\u2019s Executive Director and Chief Curator, and independent curator Joseph R.
