Performing Truth answers the most pressing questions facing any
theatre-makers who are wrestling with how to present historical,
political or socioeconomic information in an engaging,
entertaining, and galvanizing way. How to make data compelling and
documents mobilizing? How to keep an audience interested in what
might be dry, dire, or depressing? How to surprise an audience and
keep them alert? Collecting together the performance texts of
international performance artist and activist L.M. Bogad, this book
accompanies each script with essays that further explore that
work's performance strategies. It also equips readers with specific
resources and pedagogical tools to help those wishing to stage
these pieces or create their own work to engage with similar
topics. Bogad also provides "takeaways" for each piece,
illustrating the challenges of its particular subject matter and
how to overcome those challenges with innovations unique to
performance art. This is a key guidebook for artists and
theatre-makers facing the challenges of engaging with information
in an era of fake news, propaganda bots, and the polarization of
ideological spheres, as well as students and teachers taking on
that challenge in theatre studies, performance studies and
performing arts classrooms.
