Book Synopsis
Examines how surveillance technologies, when placed within the frames of theatre and performance, can be used to critique and critically reimagine the politics of surveillance in everyday life. In this way, the rapid proliferation of surveillance technology can be repurposed through performance to become technologies of ethical witnessing, critique, and action.
