Obverse of a Performance

Summary/Abstract: A text devoted to the oldest play in the Wooster Group’s current repertoire North Atlantic. Based on a text by James Strahs, its premiere took place in 1983 and it was revived with new casts in 1990 and 2010. Grabuś notes that this play differs greatly from the Group’s other performances: there’s no video projections, the actors create fictional characters who act in accordance with their fictional impulses and the plot is linear in form. The fundamental issue raised by North Atlantic, named a “touchstone” in the Group’s output by Elizabeth LeCompte, is the questioning of the possibility of the continuation and inheritance of identity in artistic practice.
