This essay reflects on four women performers’ transgenerational works that address violence in interdisciplinary ways, bringing attention to our role in this discussion as a “we”, both as women and as the audience, and the “we” of the performers. Performance has the possibility of speaking to a captive audience: a “we” that comes together voluntarily. Performativity also allows for disruption (Disruption as explained by Rocío Zambrana in Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico, when analyzing performative acts throughout Chap. 4 ), the urgent “transformation of silence into action” that poet Audre Lorde advocates for in her work.

摘要

This essay reflects on four women performers’ transgenerational works that address violence in interdisciplinary ways, bringing attention to our role in this discussion as a “we”, both as women and as the audience, and the “we” of the performers. Performance has the possibility of speaking to a captive audience: a “we” that comes together voluntarily. Performativity also allows for disruption (Disruption as explained by Rocío Zambrana in Colonial Debts: The Case of Puerto Rico, when analyzing performative acts throughout Chap. 4 ), the urgent “transformation of silence into action” that poet Audre Lorde advocates for in her work.
