Bryan Campbell est performeur et chorégraphe. Le livre Janitor of Lunacy: A Filibuster est issu d’une performance de 8 heures, reprenant la tradition rhétorique d’obstruction législative des parlementaires américain·es de l’opposition. Il explore les liens entre corps et politiques, à partir de la mise en récit de son intimité : il est question de pratiques BDSM, de santé mentale, de consentement et de performance de genre.
The filibuster that I deliver will treat a multiplicity of ways that politics interacts with the body. Any given body likely finds itself at the crosswinds of many biopolitical currents crafted by nation-states, corporate entities, and religious and ethical philosophies. These vectors influence our behaviours and desires, manipulating the body itself in order to discipline, exploit, or distract. In Janitor of Lunacy: A Filibuster, I speak from the my own point of view as one of these bodies.
