Description

How to make work today? Kris Verdonck does so through an ongoing investigation into the relation between subjects and objects. From different perspectives (performer, costume designer, director, dramaturg, spectator, scholar), this book approaches the question of how objects perform beyond their category and how human performers approach a more ‘object-like’ state of being on stage. Verdonck’s co-creative method (with both human and non-human elements) implies a fundamental questioning of the medium in which the work is developed. ‘This is a book of our times. When we most need complicated responses to the status quo, when we need to take the time to explore what is often experienced as the unprecedented “new” world we are inhabiting, the work of Verdonck gives us both complexity and time. The documents in this book respond to this complexity and need for time with nuance, deep thought and necessary provocation. A truly remarkable achievement.’ Professor Helena Grehan, Murdoch University, Australia
