Viscerallectrics and Deleuzian Affects in Postdramatic and Intermedial Performance
Performance Studies Fall Lecture by Professor Bryan Reynolds, UC Irvine
November 6, 4pm, Wright Hall 222
Critically acclaimed, “avant-garde” theater makers in Europe are incorporating, increasingly, a combination of postdramatic style and intermediality into their performances. The impact of this co-relational mode of expression, in certain notable implementations, has precipitated a paradigm shift in audience expectations, experiences, and affects. The philosophy of Deleuze offers a processual frame by which to produce, engage, and account for such performances, even if, if not because, the performances are excessive in Deleuzian terms.
All welcome!
