Performing Grief in Pandemic Theatres
This Element explores how theatre responded to the death and loss produced by the COVID-19 pandemic, by innovating forms and spaces designed to support us in grief. It considers how theatre grieved for itself, for the dead, for lost ways of living, while also imagining and enacting new modes of being together. Even as it reckoned with its own demise, theatre endeavoured to collectivise grief by performing a range of functions more commonly associ…
Grief Machines: Transhumanist Theatre, Digital Performance, Pandemic Time
This essay examines some of the ways in which mediatized theatre has grieved for live performance during the coronavirus pandemic, with the mourning of live arts, shared physical experience, and human life intertwined. Focusing on Dead Centre's production To Be a Machine (Version 1.0), which was originally presented as part of Dublin Theatre Festival in 2020, it considers the relationship between theatrical performance mediatized to screens in ou…

Widespread exploitation of the honeybee by early Neolithic farmers
Touching, Flirting, Whispering: Performing Intimacy in Public
In works by Scottish performer Adrian Howells, Belgian theatre company Ontroerend Goed, and German-British artist Tino Sehgal the artists conspire to create intimate relationships with and among their publics. But this goal is often complicated by pressures to feel or at least to fake it, and obligations to pay money and attention; in short, to work

Masculinity, psychoanalysis, straight queer theory: Essays on abjection in literature, mass culture, and film
