Abstract
Abstract:
What might at first appear as two disparate performance spaces—a gallery and a theatre—are actually complementary aspects of the traumatic real. The juxtaposition of the Inconvenient Evidence photography exhibit on abuses at Abu Ghraib prison and the documentary play Guantánamo: "Honor Bound to Defend Freedom" suggests a correspondence between the documentary spectacles of war and theatre.
