"Performance implicates the real through the presence of living bodies. In spectatorship there is an element of consumption: there are no left-overs, the gazing spectator must try to take everything in. Without a copy live performance plunges into visibility — in a maniacally charged present — and disappears into memory , into the realm of invisibility and unconscious where it eludes regulation and control."
— Peggy Phelan, Unmarked
