Performance 0:2 Conference, the second of its kind, deals with the idea of secondariness – acts of restoration and re-enactment of events that have already taken place and performances that have been previously created. The observation and doing at the conference aim to present performative re-enactment in renewed contexts: the revival of historical events, versions of social and political events and re-staging of scenes and actions that have already taken place in artistic and cultural contexts. Such actions are at the heart of live artistic performance and most relevant to various medium contexts that include theater, dance, music and sound, visual art, film, television and digital media. A variety of relationships exist between an event or expression considered an original, and acts of retrieval, reinterpretation and remix . The space between original and event might be perceived as a reality-capturing act, an ethical problem, a political stance, a civil act, an anesthetization, expansion or reduction of the gap between reality and "reality". Re-enactment might remain conservative and is often intended as didactic, archaeological, or spectacular in its nature. But this is also a complex model for alternative coupling and radical interpretations; a model wherein the shift in space, time and language from one stance to another facilitates the editing and rewriting of history, myth, and current reality.
