Description
Autobiography and Performance: Performing Selves explores the complex relationships between past and present in performance, authenticity, and live versus reality television. Deirdre Heddon's engaging analysis blends theoretical perspectives with personal reflections, examining issues of truth, identity, personal history, and political agency. Through case studies of international practitioners, including Tim Miller, Lisa Kron, Bobby Baker, and Curious, Heddon raises provocative questions about the nature of performance and autobiography. This book provides a broad overview of key concepts in the field, shedding light on the ethics and politics of confession and voyeurism in contemporary performance practice.
