Abstract
To write a ‘performative text’ is to produce a piece of writing which is necessarily active, an open dialogue with itself and the reader, full of interjections and mutations. The following text is a theatre play, framed by parameters of an academic paper — an introduction and footnotes — that function as a parallel dialogue to the play, a set of interruptions and meta-texts. The intention here is to try and see how the artwork can be mapped out as a text, in and of itself, and to approach the theory-practice conundrum from this point of view, rather than as a body of practice serving as an appendage to a parallel enquiry, or vice versa.
