Performing Remains is a dazzling new study exploring the part of the faux, the false and the faux in contemporary performance. Rebecca Schneider argues passionately that performance can be engaged every bit what remains, rather than what disappears.
Across seven essays, Schneider presents a forensic and unique test of both contemporary and historical functioning, drawing on a variety of elucidating sources including the "America" plays of Linda Mussmann and Suzan-Lori Parks, performances of Marina Abramovic´ and Allison Smith, and the connected popular appeal of Ceremonious War reenactments. Performing Remains questions the importance of representation throughout history and today, while boldly reassessing the ritual value of failure to recapture the by and recreate the "original."
