S/LI/216. "A genuinely post-modern work forces us to recognise that reality is something other than our formulations of it, and that those formulations are therefore constructs" (Jean-François Lyotard). Investigate and interrogate the urge in performance theatre to radically restructure audience perception and understanding of theatre/life

The paper examines the concept of post-modernism from the perspective of its pluralistic approach to reality. The study offers a review of literature on the perceptions of reality and the nature of the unconscious applying the theory to the performance style of Robert Wilson's theatre 'The Wooster Group' and analysing his methods of creating 'parallel reality' by juxtaposing dreams and realistic material.
