Inhaltsangabe

Literary Nonfiction. Drama. Performance Studies. Art. Winner of the 2016 Leslie Scalapino Award for Innovative Women Performance Writers. THE TRIUMPH OF CROWDS is a lecture as performance, or performance as lecture, distributed between the voices and gestures of ten performers. A layered work, weaving art history, film, and the contemporary politics and poetics of community, THE TRIUMPH OF CROWDS opens up the space of performance into a time that is both meditative and urgent. Written in response to Nicholas Poussin's painting The Triumph of David (1631), it explores the politics of public assembly, protest, and becoming "us."
