MISperformance: essays in shifting perspectives
“MIS- marks the minute of performance when it finds itself beyond the already normative staging as well as just liminal state; when its course is obstructed and evident pragmatics – at least in the MIS-moment – is missed.”
“Misperformance lurks in the wings of every performance as its defining, therefore constitutive in-/di-/sub-/per-version.”
Marin Blažević and Lada Čale Feldman
