1. Introduction: Theatrical Metaphors, Textile Philosophies -- 2. Emptiness and Excess: The Cave, the Colonnade, and the Cube -- 3. Directorial Perspectives: The Image, the Platform, the Tightrope -- 4. "Revolving It All": Weaves of Memory in Amadeus and Footfalls -- 5. Smart Homes and Dwelling Machines: Function, Ornament, and Cognition -- 6. Protest in Colour and Concrete: Theatrical Textures in the Urban Fabric -- 7. Knots and Loose Ends: Cycles of Change, Metaphors of Range.

This book reinterprets theatricality and performativity through a dramaturgy of texture and weaving. As cultural metaphors, theatricality and performativity evoke practices of seeing and doing, but also conflicting values of novelty and normativity. With anthropologist Tim Ingold and philosopher Stephen C. Pepper, this study explores a series of intertwining threads, from the theatrical to the performative: Antitheatrical (Plato, the Baroque, Michael Fried); Pro-theatrical (directors Wagner, Fuchs, Meyerhold, Brecht, and Brook); Dramatic (weaving memory in Shaffer's Amadeus and Beckett's Footfalls); Efficient (from modernist "machines for living in" to the "smart home"); Activist (knit graffiti, clown patrols, and the Anthropo(s)cene) An approach is developed in which 'performativity' names the way we tacitly weave worlds and identities, variously concealed or clarified by the step-aside tactics of 'theatricality'.
