Abstract
For Johannes Huizinga, all culture "bears the character of play," suggesting
that the play-element is both a delight and a burden. Performance,
like play, is comprised of a complex set of systems that embrace aesthetic
displays, daily encounters, intellectual endeavors, institutionalization,
and warfare. The play of performance, therefore, operates between the
poles of entertainment and acts that are deadly serious. As Jon McKenzie
states, we "perform or else."
