Singularities

Dance in the Age of Performance

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How does the production of performance engage with the fundamental issues of our advanced neo-capitalist age? Andre Lepecki surveys a decade of visual art and experimental choreography to uncover the dual meaning of 'performance' in the twenty first century - not just as an aesthetic category but also as a mode of political power.
