Davide Giovanzana’s work at the crossroads of theater practice and theory has for more than two decades pushed for a new understanding of not just the performing arts and their research, but of excess and ethics in general. Performing Violence [work title] is a highly recommendable read for scholars and practitioners in all arts, without forgetting philosophers, who might find interest in Giovanzana’s novel way of reflecting on philosophical questions through experimental theater practice. Central for both traditional and digital theater, violence forces the audience to engage with the performance both psychologically and somatically. The topic might be a perennial one, but Giovanzana’s hand-on methods of dealing with it provide new solid results, especially helpful for the practitioner.
