This volume gathers contributions from a range of international
scholars and geopolitical contexts to explore why people organise
themselves into performance communities in sites of crisis and how
performance - social and aesthetic, sanctioned and underground - is
employed as a mechanism for survival. The chapters treat a wide
range of what can be considered 'survival', ranging from sheer
physical survival, to the survival of a social group with its own
unique culture and values, to the survival of the very possibility
of agency and dissent. Performance as a form of political
resistance and protest plays a large part in many of the essays,
but performance does more than that: it enables societies in crisis
to continue to define themselves. By maintaining identities that
are based on their own chosen affiliations and not defined solely
in opposition to their oppressors, individuals and groups prepare
themselves for a post-crisis future by keeping alive their own
notions of who they are and who they hope to be.
