Last October, I was invited to talk about “The Art of Performing Political Innovation” at an event called “Performing Change” at the Eyebeam Arts Center in New York City, at the invitation of the Italian artist Paolo Cirio (thank you, Paolo). Although the video is over 50 minutes, my talks is at the beginning and lasts about 15 minutes. I try to identify the common features of great art and great politics. What makes beautiful politics?
