I know you'll stand in solidarity with me, but how close are you willing to stand?
Part lecture, part meditation, and part threat. The Only Good Indian takes a radical look at where our similarities begin and where they end. Each night a different performer straps themselves into a suicide vest – and struggles to rationalize to the audience such an “irrational” decision. Each incarnation of The Only Good Indian recruits a local artist to step into the radical headspace of a suicide bomber.
