Performance can describe, through the fulsome, hopeful, radically humanist gesture of the utopian performative, how social relationships might change. I go to see performances anticipating transformative experiences, ones that will let me see a sliver of a vision, let me feel for a moment in my body and my soul what the world might be like were some form of social justice or progressive social change or consistent act of real, human love even partially accomplished. The performatives I’m engaging here aren’t iterations of what is but transformative doings of what if. This kind of hope represents an opening up, rather than a closing down, of consciousness of the past and the future in the present. JILL DOLAN, UTOPIA IN PERFORMANCE: FINDING HOPE AT THE THEATER, 2005

非殖民化母性：原住民剧院中的母性形象

表演可以通过乌托邦式表演的令人愉快、充满希望、激进的人文主义姿态来描述社会关系可能会如何变化。我去看表演，期待变革性的体验，让我看到一丝愿景，让我在身体和灵魂中感受片刻，世界可能是什么样的，是某种形式的社会正义或进步的社会变革，或者始终如一的真实、人类的爱，甚至部分完成。我在这里参与的表演不是什么的迭代，而是如果的变革性行为。这种希望代表了对现在过去和未来的意识的开放，而不是关闭。吉尔·多兰，《表演中的乌托邦：在剧院中寻找希望》，2005
