NYC-based collectiveAbout
Guerrilla Theater is a performance art group based in New York city started by Max Abeles. It consists of around 10-20 floating performance artists who perform in public parks in pop up shows for about two hours. Each time is a different group in a different space. Guerrilla Theater has performed in Washington Square Park, Tompkins Square Park, La Plaza Cultural Community Garden, Grace Exhibition Space, and Union Sqare Park among other locations.
| Guerrilla Theater is a collective of experimental performance artists and musicians based in NYC. They mostly do ecstatic multi-media improvised group performances in the streets of New York. They support independence from all oppression and freedom to pursue self-expression. They create public disturbances in order to wake up the sleeping giant. Public performance is a way to reach the masses and disrupt the status quo and losing barrier between artist audience. They practice improvised non-hierarchical collective action in the public space in the hopes that people will be inspired to create a new culture. One that embraces the chaos of humanity giving everybody the freedom to participate and express in whatever creative way they can imagine. |
I joined Guerrilla Theater in 2023 and have been performing with the group ever since.
