Performance Cluster is RUFA’s annual event dedicated to performance art, a context in which students present works that explore the body, the mind and the physical and conceptual spaces that surround us.

This year’s edition is a collaboration with Yale University and takes inspiration from Elise Morrison’s book Discipline and Desire: Surveillance Technologies in Performance Art. The text analyses the impact of surveillance technologies, drones, cameras and facial recognition on communication, entertainment and social control. These are instruments of power which, in a performative context, can be subverted and turned against power itself.

Nine international artists perform these themes: Vanshika Agrawal, Sofia Arredondo, Anna Fischnaller, Alice Kasdan, Abigail Murphy, Bianca Polakova, Kateryna Sopielkina, Nadia Vallino and Julia Vasconcelos.
