After fieldwork on the ten-hour performance “Insomnia 2–In Memoriam” about
rituals and death, the author asks how the deRothfils company makes life meaningful
through audience interaction with this dance creation. She explores the
notion of ritual for performance analysis, drawing on Catherine Bell’s framework.
She examines four dimensions of the performance, each showing how various
aspects of ritual are generated: reviving esthetic features, fulfilling social needs
through collective encounters, experiencing strong affects, and offering a space for
existential reflection. The article concludes with a more general question of how
this artistic process produces knowledge.
