Lecture by Rebecca Schneider: "Performance and documentation"
Open Museum 2014

This lecture addresses one of the fundamental concepts in performance theory: documentation. Troubling the notion that performance disappears and the document remains, this lecture turns to the temporal question of duration.

Rebecca Schneider is specialist in theatre studies and performance at the intersection of the new media, literature, photography, architecture and the “performance-like nature” of everyday life. Lecturer on the history of theatre, cultural studies and performance theories.
