Theatrical analysis uncovers the posthuman world and its implications on human agency and subjectivity.
The postsubjective theatre of Sudden Rise (2019) by Wu Tsang and the collective Moved by the Motion denies human agency, suggesting instead a posthuman world, and brings the theatrical paradox of action and subjectivity to light. Sudden Rise ’s hyperaffective timelessness heralds a posthuman world, both in reality and in theatre. Characterized by collectivity, entanglement, and synesthesia, the working mode of Tsang’s team of artists frames and codetermines the theatrical experience.
