Essayistic tendencies in the performing arts
- Author

- Abstract
- This article reflects on five recent performances described in different ways as essay or as essayistic by the artists themselves. Inspired by how the essay form has disseminated, over the last decades, into film, resulting in the established genre of the essay film, it explores what the transposition of the essay onto the stage looks like. The works of Ogutu Muraya, Silke Huysmans and Hannes Dereere, Ho Rui An, Mobile Akademie Berlin, and Jozef Wouters serve as case studies to examine how a performance can be discussed as an essay or as being essayistic.
