Performage is the action of performing a homage to someone or something that has inspired you to act the way you do. It is realizing the influence of others in your life, and in the way you behave. A performage is a response. It is a form of giving it back, in your own way - two bodies perform the same movements differently. This is a space of possibilities, beyond the either/or options.
(this is also a performage to Goffman’s performance theory, to the virtual space from Lacan, and to ‘Exhaustion and Exuberance’ by Jan Verwoert)
