Was performance important to Deleuze? Is Deleuze important to
performance; to its practical, as well as theoretical, research?
What are the implications of Deleuze's philosophy of difference,
process and becoming, for Performance Studies, a field in which
many continue to privilege the notion of performance as
representation, as anchored by its imitation of an identity: 'the
world', 'the play', 'the self'? Deleuze and Performance is a
collection of new essays dedicated to Deleuze's writing on theatre
and to the productivity of his philosophy for (re)thinking
performance. This book provides rigorous analyses of Deleuze's
writings on theatre practitioners such as Artaud, Beckett and
Carmelo Bene, as well as offering innovative readings of historical
and contemporary performance including performance art, dance, new
media performance, theatre and opera, which use Deleuze's concepts
in exciting new ways. Can philosophy follow Deleuze in overcoming
the antitheatrical tradition embedded in its history, perhaps even
reconsidering what it means to think in the light of the embodied
insights of performance's practitioners? Experts from the fields of
Performance Studies and Deleuze Studies come together in this
volume and strive to examine these and other issues in a manner
that will be challenging, yet accessible to students and
established scholars alike.
