Theatres of Powerlessness : Acts of Knowledge and the Performance of the Many
Redaktör
- Edit Kaldor
Summary, in English
Theatres of Powerlessness departs from Edit Kaldor’s Inventory of Powerlessness (2013-16), a multi-year theatre project in which hundreds of participants articulated their emergent knowledge about contemporary forms of powerlessness. It is aimed, among others, at student readers in an increasingly diversified educational context, who are learning to develop models of transformative, creative practice with which to put their own experiences of the world to work. Combining process and performance documentation of Inventory, with critical analysis of a global range of contemporary performance practices, Theatres of Powerlessness offers practical considerations for an extended 21st century theatre aesthetic, through which undervalued ‘acts of knowledge’ and their generative potential can be brought to light.
