Mahinerator + The Barbarians

Bol

To engage with Lieblich’s plays is to become obsessed with how language works, how it works on us, and how we use it to work on others. —Thinking Theater NYC In Mahinerator, an ambitious bureaucrat, speaking in a quasi-English pseudolect, tells his greatliest life story; a story of the banalation of the evilwise, of vacuumic compressulated ecocide. The Barbarians is a loggorheic encyclopedic rambunctious gollywompus of a play concerning speech acts, political power, fractal geometry, eusociality, theater, nonsense, aircraft carriers, cell phone networks, Bifröst, My Heart Will Go On, semiotics, pyramids, and picturesque American normalcy. A composer of language’s skewed longings, these plays by Jerry Lieblich torque and tickle our grammars, taking these jangly, tangling systems as occasions for probing the political structures through which we participate in our and others’ demise.
