Performances of Towns-ghost
The article takes readers to the towns-ghost destroyed in both World Wars. The author re-callas examples of French villages detruit from Picardy and martyr cities: Czech Lidice and French Oradour-sur-Glane. Starting from Schechner’s “as performance” category, the author analyzes how the contemporary meaning of these places is built and with what means they create anti-war performances.
