- Title
Towards an Idle Theatre: The Politics and Poetics of Foreplay.
- Authors
Palladini, Giulia
- Abstract
The article presents the politics and poetics of foreplay. The author suggests foreplay as a concept aimed at describing amateur theatre labor both for the temporality and sensibility of the term. She mentions the reasons for the significance of recouping the expanded notions of labor and the production. She also talks about the book "Arcades Project," by philosopher Walter Benjamin, from which the idea of idleness is being obtained.
