Living on the Edge: Chaos in Theatre, Film and Performance
The concept of chaos has been central to dramatic writing and theatrical performances for centuries,
as the stage has consistently served as a site for dissent and political critique. Theatres have
abounded with stories of ontological crises, human struggles, catastrophes, political crises, tales of
revolution, transformation and chaos as well as existential angst, identity confusion and ontological
reasoning. From the antiquity and the religious counsels of medieval morality plays to the
posthuman concerns of contemporary and eco-theatres, dramatic and recently Postdramatic plays
have persistently explored the instabilities and subversions of meaning, form, identity, and
sociocultural systems and practices.
