Futurism: performance and performativity of a movement by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…What is less talked about is the overall performativity (Van Hantelmann, 2014) of Futurism, beyond the confines of literal performances to a theatre-going audience: such performativity manifests itself in a wide range of futurist expressions, not least their notorious manifestos. In this contribution, originally developed to support the exhibition 'Futurismi Contemporanei' at Villa Valmarana and Palazzo Donà delle Rose in Venice curated by Michele Citro and Andrea Guastella (2024), Dr Jacek Ludwig Scarso draws on the performance and performative strategies employed by Futurism in subverting the cultural status quo and promoting the concept of a 'total artwork'. …”
