This book stages a timely discussion about the centrality of
identity politics to theatre and performance studies. It
acknowledges the important close relationship between the
discourses and practices historically while maintaining that
theatre and performance can enlighten ways of being with others
that are not limited by conventional identitarian languages. The
essays engage contemporary theatre and performance practices that
pose challenging questions about identity, as well as subjectivity,
relationality, and the politics of aesthetics, responding to
neo-liberal constructions and exploitations of identity by seeking
to discern, describe, or imagine a new political subject. Chapters
by leading international scholars look to visual arts practice,
digital culture, music, public events, experimental theatre, and
performance to investigate questions about representation,
metaphysics, and politics. The collections seeks to foreground
shared, universalist connections that unite rather than divide,
visiting metaphysical questions of being and becoming, and the
possibilities of producing alternate realities and relationalities.
The book asks what is at stake in thinking about a subject, a time,
a place, and a performing arts practice that would come 'after'
identity, and explores how theatre and performance pose and
interrogate these questions.
