At its center is the monumental tapestry Honor, one of the largest in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, measuring nearly 6 by 7.5 meters. Honor: is it an artist talk, a performance, or a performance that masquaredes as an artist talk?
Writer and director Suzanne Bocanegra weaves her personal story together with her interpretation of this sixteenth-century tapestry, revealing a rich tapestry of characters and narratives. The work comes alive in a dynamic mix of Bocanegra’s sharp cultural observations, personal reflections, colorful imagery projected on a large screen, and a compelling performance by actress Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under).
From Renaissance weaving to Bauhaus textiles, from the Spanish Inquisition to girl scout badges and Hansel and Gretel, art history, childhood memories, and feminist commentary, flow together seamlessly. Honor is witty, humourous, and unexpectedly moving, a performance about status, labor, and the question: "Who decides what honor really means?"
The performance Honor is one of the works personally selected by composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, associate artist of Holland Festival 2026.
