Global Medieval Performance: Performing Death in the Middle Ages.
We welcome proposals for performances In this global performance session at the International Congress on Medieval Studies (ICMS, May 8-10, 2025, Western Michigan University).
This session will include three to seven performers of medieval narrative. Performers will present works that offer culturally intersectional responses to/readings of death. This performance session brings together performed texts from a diverse geographic and linguistic range: French, Iberian, Italian, English, German, Hebrew, Arabic, Byzantine, North African narratives. With mortality as their shared cultural concern, these texts read aloud or performed will enhance our modern understanding of the linguistic richness and intersectional cultural experience of medieval narratives of death.
Please send your brief description (50-100 words) of a scene from a work that you are interested in performing by Wednesday, October 30, 2024 to Regula Meyer Evitt [rmevitt@coloradocollege.edu], Tamara Caudill [tcaudil1@ju.edu].
