Reverie on the Sofa

On the Possibility of Performance at Home Post-Pandemic
This research project explores the political potential of the home as a site for new forms of performance. It posits that the domestic sphere, through its reconfiguration during the pandemic, has become a site of profound existential and performative inquiry. By foregrounding the theatricality inherent in everyday life, this study offers a path towards collective healing and resilience, embracing the chaos and uncertainty of our times with a defiant and transcendent spirit.
