Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay utilizes performative writing to explore the themes of disappearance and survival as a means of surveying and addressing the role of adaptation in performance studies praxis. Utilizing theories of collecting and writing, I trace the contributions made by performance studies via the metonym of the show poster. I argue that the art of adaption provides an uncanny relay for both individual artists and the field of performance studies at large, as its body of knowledge provides unique resources in our collective negotiation and response to the global catastrophe wrought by the Covid-19 virus.
