Abstract

Performance studies developed by Victor Turner and Richard Schechner may suggest the contours of a still emerging field. At the same time, here may be found ancient rock formations and signs of igneous matter. Here, also, may be detected the noise of seismic movements. I would like to invite readers with open ears to take part in a kind of journey, as we explore the sonorous substrata of a landscape. Three categories signal our descent. In first place, ritual. Then, drama. Thirdly, in deeper regions, play. Between theater and anthropology - or in fields where one is led to"calculate places where things are sensed" - I would like to propose a geological incursion. Or, even better, a seismology of performance.
