The Performative Character of Betrayal in Public Space: A threshold experience of a performative paper

Περίληψη

This article examines the performance Last Supper, Ioannis and Other Betrayals, which was presented in the courtyard of the National Gallery of Nafplio, through the lens of the performative nature of betrayal in public space. The work presented betrayal as an ongoing social, political, and personal situation, starting with the assassination of Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1831 and ending with personal testimonies about the breach of trust. The analysis highlights the nature of performative texts as "textual landscapes," the use of bread as both a material and a metaphorical element, and the participatory structure that culminated in dialogue with the audience.
