From concept «event» of G. Deleuze to event performativity in the theory of theatre
Abstract
The article reveals the specifics of the concept of the event in the philosophy of G. Deleuze. It is argued that in G. Deleuze’s philosophy the event appears as of ontological nature and implies chaosmos. The reality of an event is always embodied through language, which makes it possible not only to fix it as a manifestation, but also as a basis that endows the objects of reality with meaning. The author of the article affirms the idea of continuity in the development of the G. Deleuze interpretation of the event in modern theatre theory. The semantic points of intersection of the two interpretations in this context is the definition of an event as a performance.
