This book draws on the theatrical thinking of Samuel Beckett and
the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze to propose a method for research
undertaken at the borders of performance and philosophy. Exploring
how Beckett fabricates encounters with the impossible and the
unthinkable in performance, it asks how philosophy can approach
what cannot be thought while honouring and preserving its alterity.
Employing its method, it creates a series of encounters between
aspects of Beckett's theatrical practice and a range of concepts
drawn from Deleuze's philosophy. Through the force of these
encounters, a new range of concepts is invented. These provide
novel ways of thinking affect and the body in performance; the
possibility of theatrical automation; and the importance of failure
and invention in our attempts to respond to performance encounters.
Further, this book includes new approaches to Beckett's later
theatrical work and provides an overview of Deleuze's conception of
philosophical practice as an ongoing struggle to think with
immanence.
