The State of Victimhood. Some Bodies on the Stage of Contemporary Theatre.
The 2005 Avignon Theatre Festival sparked a vast controversy about the insistent presence of bodies (whether wounded, broken, or humiliated) on stage. Without subscribing to the reactionary critical response
to the Festival, it is legitimate to return to the debate in order to question the ubiquity of the “victim
body” in contemporary theatre. Such representations, far from being heterodox, are in fact part of the
massive ideology of “the ethical”, as diagnosed by Alain Badiou. The oppressed body thus tends to be assimilated to the body of the victim. The result is the obliteration of the resistance of subjects to their oppression, or of their active response to it, theatre being reduced to the maxims of a democratic materialism:
“there are only bodies and languages”. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
