WHO'S AFRAID OF REPRESENTATION?
POLITICAL BODIES, THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES
This is an obligatory course in the first semester.
In this course, we will explore the potential of theatricality both as a term of critical analysis and as a strategy of artistic practice. We will start by reading a selection of theoretical texts engaging with theatricality in relation to questions of representation, performativity, corporeality, choreography, and the society of the spectacle, coupled with a selection of case studies from current artistic and political practice (including Hotel Modern, The Yes Men, 9/11 Fahrenheit, Everybody for Berlusconi, Guantanamo Bay the Musical, Rimini Protocoll, and Rabih Mroué, among others). Special attention will be paid to the complicated relationship between theatricality and politics, both inside and outside the theatre.
