Instant Theatre: Rachel Rosenthal and King Moody

Roberts Projects is pleased to present Instant Theatre: Rachel Rosenthal and King Moody , an exhibition exploring the experimental theatre movement founded by Rachel Rosenthal in 1955 and continued with her husband, King Moody, from 1956–1966. Featuring archival material and design elements that invoke the setting and atmosphere of these ephemeral events, the exhibition reconstitutes Instant Theatre for the present while situating it historically as a precursor to the performance art of the 1960s and 1970s. While highlighting the importance of the movement itself, the exhibition also spotlights Rosenthal as a powerful artistic force in her own right—one whose influence and contributions continue to be felt today.
