Reflections on Performance and Identity

Exploring the interconnectedness of performance and identity through reflections on approach and presence, the chapter delves into philosophical musings on identity, anti-blackness, and the burden of cultural origin. Introducing Hippetia and intertwining personal anecdotes with performance aspects of storytelling, the discussion extends to the influence of a significant book and the etymology of 'Pré'. Questioning traditional views of performance, the chapter bridges literature, jazz music, and weaving, touching on wave-particle duality and the observational attitude towards reading.
