Performing Ruins

Exploring the intersection of performance and decay, the book examines cultural events staged in sites of abandonment across various countries, including the UK and Bosnia Herzegovina. It focuses on modern economic ruins and war-torn landscapes, featuring case studies derived from the author's extensive fieldwork and interviews with artists. The text situates these performances within the broader context of Ruin Studies, analyzing the motivations behind using ruined spaces and the dramaturgical implications of such choices in relation to time, politics, and culture.
