Flattered by the culture industry, the spectator is very much held in contempt by aesthetic criticism and political radicalness. Because, unlike creative people, the spectator seems passive; unlike actors, he seems to remain a consumer. A philosopher attached to the equality of intelligence, Jacques Rancière dismantles this cliché that makes of theatre, images and performance stages of illusion. Based on a reflection about the emancipated spectator, he explores the theoretical and practical possibilities of a political art.
