Join us Thursday, February 27, 7 pm, Communication building, Room 207, for a provocative and thought-provoking talk from Performance Studies scholar and UCSD Professor Patrick Anderson!

"Someone Is Dying in Front of Your Eyes"
Patrick Anderson asks how and why performance matters in the context of several non-theatrical phenomena-hunger striking, life-threatening illness, contemporary policing-and what performance might have to offer us in the context of existential despair.
