PERFORMING LANDSCAPES PERFORMING RUINS - SIMO...

This book engages with the relationship between ruins  dilapidation  and abandonment and
cultural events performed within such spaces. Following the author's fieldwork in the UK 
Bosnia Herzegovina  Poland  Germany  Greece  and Sicily  chapters describe  investigate  and
reflect upon live performance events which have taken place in sites of decay and abandonment.
The book's main focus is upon modern economic ruins and ruins of warfare. Each chapter provides
several case studies based upon the author's own site visits and interviews with actors 
directors  producers  curators  writers  and other artists. The book contextualises these
events within the wider framework of Ruin Studies and provides brief summaries of how we might
understand the ruin in terms of time  politics  culture  and atmospheres. The book is
particularly preoccupied with artists' reasons and motivations for placing performance events
in ruined spaces and how these work dramaturgically.
