Exploring the intersection of performance and trauma, this volume delves into how art can express the 'unrepresentable' aspects of traumatic experiences. It examines the potential of performance to enhance understanding of trauma on both personal and societal levels, addressing various forms such as social, political, and psychological. In a time when trauma permeates daily life, the book highlights the unique commentary that performance can provide, distinguishing it from other cultural mediums.
