Book synopsis

The main question we raise with this book is how performance can be political in present day European representative democracy, a system which no longer draws on the live gathering of people. Several leading European (mostly female) thinkers analyse artistic practices that have emerged alongside new social movements - such as Solidarity in Greece or Municipalism in Spain - investigating how theatre, dance and performance respond to the new political insights and experiments. It is a context wherein the previously well-known tactics and tools, such as participation, identity politics or spontaneous usage of public space don't suffice. Thus we must build and learn a new vocabulary of politicality of performance that includes opaque words such as 'innervation', 'preenactment', 'prefiguration' or 'recreation'.
