New York-based actor and artist Sacha Yanow portrays her father in Dad Band, playing at Joe’s Pub on June 4 before heading to the Festival Theaterformen in Hannover, Germany. Yanow, whose previous work includes Silent Film and The Prince, will don a mustache, glasses, and button-down shirts to try to better understand her father, taking on the patriarchy and white supremacy through songs from the 1950s and ’60s, motivational speeches, dance, and footage of her dad’s appearance on To Tell the Truth in the 1970s. Yanow, who has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Karen Finley, Dynasty Handbag, Sarah Michelson, and Elisabeth Subrin, and is the director of the Art Matters Foundation, wrote and performs the show, which features costume design by Signe Mae Olson. An early version of the piece premiered in November 2015 at the New Museum as part of the “Temporary Arrangements” series curated by Wynne Greenwood.
