Theatre and Value: Confounding as Dismeasure in David Greig’s The Events
In this article, author addresses the politico-aesthetic value of David Greig’s The Events (2013) in the context of globalization. Globalization is characterized as a moment in our history which is highly marked by the ideology of the “individual”, of categories, and of separateness, which not only impacts the way we see ourselves and the world but also the mode in which we think, feel, and do things, preventing connectedness from fundamentally occurring. Greig’s theatre has a politicoaesthetic value because it generates confounding – a formal strategy that precipitates the undoing of categories by unmarking their contours – responding and critiquing the global imperative of individualism and objecthood. Confounding introduces “dismeasure” (Pascal Gielen) – an amalgamation of concepts which can be equated
with difference, variety, dissensus, and different perspectives – in culture by offering unbound versions of bodies as well as other categories. Value is further produced, because through these strategies of confounding which generate dismeasure a sense of interconnection, interdependence, and co-responsibility is conceptually suggested and blown onto the spectator and her outlook on the world. In other words, the value
of Greig’s theatre lies in the fact that it shatters the compartmentalization of bodies, worlds, and thinking, suggesting a sense of interconnectedness.
