I cast six actors to perform an appropriated script of Bruce Nauman’s Good Boy, Bad Boy (1985). In Nauman’s work, he worked with two actors (one older white woman and one younger black man) to recite 100 phrases of dialogue 5 times. They are all the repeated conjugation of the verb 'to be' linked with the term 'good boy': 'I am a good boy. You are a good boy. We are good boys ' and so on.
