W1: Keyword "Transgression"




"Transgression" came to us while discussing words such as limits, borders and restrictions.
Picture on the left illustrates the outcome of Srebrenica genocide, which could be one of the "results“ of transgression in the politics in life.
In terms of performance, exploring boundaries could trigger pushing limits and re-questioning one’s prejudices and presumptions.
For example the piece of Marina Abramovic "Rhythm 0" challenged the audience to participate and thus cross the limits of expected behaviour.(Picture on the right)
Hence, our questions being :do the dissolved boundaries between the performer and the audience still allow the piece to be seen as a performance? Must transgression always lead to violence?
