This book develops a new theory of liveness and presence, drawing on Zeamiâs 15th-century treatises on nÅ theatre. It addresses what it means for something to be the real thing, in real time, and why it matters. Rather than making technical distinctions between media, critiquing liveness as ontologically impossible, or approaching it as merely subjective, Leo Marko defines the live through sense-making and ineffability. Via recent debates in performance studies, Zeamiâs ideas of how the âflowerâ depends on secrecy, and examples ranging from nÅ to Darth Vader and pop lyrics, âlive senseâ is conceptualized as an appreciation of situated, aesthetic and undefinable meaning.â

This interdisciplinary book centered in theatre and performance studies will be greatly valuable for specialists and students at all levels working on the topics of liveness, presence, or Zeamiâs aesthetics. The conceptualization of the ineffability of presence and âreal lifeâ will also interest a wider readership of artists, critics and scholars.
