Title: Viral Performance: Contagious Theaters from Modernism to the Digital Age.
Authors: Sell, Mike
Abstract: Chapter 1 explores the viral dramaturgy that circulated between Antonin Artaud (among the first to conceptualize theatre as a viral contagion) and the Living Theatre. The third viral dramaturgy exploited these via a dramaturgy of "publicly performed fiction - spectacular stories unbounded by theatrical stages" (113). In I Viral Performance: Contagious Theaters from Modernism to the Digital Age i , Miriam Felton-Dansky addresses these problems by way of the concept of "viral performance.".
