Antigone in/as Transition. A Study on the Performing Arts Status Quo in Europe (in its Transcontinental Contexts)

The lack of analyses of contemporary Antigone performances was already noted in 1991 (Loraux 1991), and since then it still has not been adequately addressed. Antigone in/as Transition brings together politics and psychoanalysis/philosophy from a Performance Studies perspective. Strengthening specifically Performance Studies-based analyses within the larger field of Antigone Studies provides crucial insights, because performances are processes of perception in which subjects and political understanding are constituted. The research goals of Antigone in/as Transition are threefold. First, it aims to provide a systematic and comparative analysis of six representative Antigone performances in Europe and in transcontinental contexts. Second, it seeks to investigate 'the state of the art' of post-postdramatic theatre. Third, it aims to provide a Performance Studies contribution to a new wave of Antigone Studies.
