I Hate Actors

At L’Alliance New York, *I Hate Actors* is presented as a live event, framed less as a showcase than as an inquiry into performance itself. The piece circles the uneasy space between the person onstage and the persona being sold, treating acting as labor, craft, and social transaction. In New York’s long-running argument about authenticity in art, it lands as a pointed footnote. One clear effect is how it makes the audience hear familiar theatrical habits as something learned, not natural.
