Abstract
This volume is predicated upon a particular kind of doubling, captured in its title: Performing (for) Survival: Theatre, Crisis, Extremity. For the theatre and performance makers who created the performances under discussion are not only making a claim for a particular mode of survival: articulating an alternative, shaping a future, staging a different kind of life. They are also staging those alternatives: materializing and performing them, for however temporary or provisional a moment. They are performing survival and performing for survival, working in registers of both presence and representation simultaneously.
