This publication allows readers a first-time overview of the performance scenes, artists, performance locations and festivals in multilingual Switzerland. First- and second-hand accounts provide insights into and cross-references between the different performance networks. Based on collective research and mappings at various locations, the authors describe “performance landscapes” from Santa Maria Val Müstair to Basel, and from Eastern Switzerland to Lake Geneva. Starting with the origins of performance art in the mid-1960s, the text contributions reach all the way to current developments. The history of performance art is not uniform. It is made up of various narratives, encompasses plural concepts, and it wends its way through many languages, places and disciplinary frameworks.
This publication follows the Reader Revolving Histories – on translocal performance art Switzerland, which was released in 2025.
