Description
This work explores the intersections between performance art and the theories of Roland Barthes, inviting readers to engage with his ideas through a fresh lens. The authors, a collective of notable performance-makers, reflect on Barthes' significant contributions while examining the implications of his thoughts in the realm of contemporary performance.
By delving into concepts of neutrality and desire within dramaturgy, the book encourages a critical dialogue about how performance can be approached in ways that challenge traditional narratives. It bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering insights that resonate for both scholars and practitioners in the arts.
