II Carrozzone's Presages of the Vampire: Studies for an Environment

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  07 December 2021

Extract

Presagidel Vampiro (Presages of the Vampire) is not a performance. It is the refusal of performance. Presages: something extremely definite in itself—the single presentiment—but inarticulated, or better articulated according to a procedure not of “necessity” but of demonstration. Articulated a posteriori.

Presages of the Vampire is a selection from studies on the theme of the rapport inside-outside. The outside in the inside and the inside in the outside: the Duchampian door.

Presages of the Vampire leads to a reflection-decomposition of the theatre in the theatre, of time in the theatre, of space in the theatrical space, Vampire. One can have presentiments of war, presentiments of a storm, presentiments of being attacked, presentiments of death.
