Dramaturgies of Hauntology encompasses two performances, The Strange Geometry of Time (2018) and Dwelling (2019), both of which aim to creatively activate theories of Hauntology and Spectrality, either through the haunted subject, placing the singularity of the self into doubt, or via explorations of ‘agency’ in places devoid of human existence, testing the implications of the uncanny in derelict locations.

The performance is devised in collaboration with performers Xavier de Santos, Samuel de la Torre, Leeza Jessie, Alice Barton, and Sofia Caley.
