As a form of site-specific performance, domestic performance usually shifts among different modes of realization, which may include situating performance in a hosting house (whether authorized or unauthorized); pointing to biographical, historical, cultural, and political analogies between the house as &#8220;host&#8221; and the situation as &#8220;ghost&#8221;; or actively creating a home space.<sup><a id=\"f1-text\" href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999#f1\" name=\"f1-text\">1<\/a><\/sup> Site-specific performance made its appearance on the Israeli art scene in the late 1960s, but it is only since the early 2000s that it has become a widespread phenomenon,<sup><a id=\"f2-text\" href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999#f2\" name=\"f2-text\">2<\/a><\/sup> with domestic site-specific works becoming prevalent in the second decade of the 2000s.<sup><a id=\"f3-text\" href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999#f3\" name=\"f3-text\">3<\/a><\/sup> Such works were prominent, for instance, in the In-Home Festival in Jerusalem, which has taken place annually since 2011,<sup><a id=\"f4-text\" href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999#f4\" name=\"f4-text\">4<\/a><\/sup> while domestic performances have also been created as independent ventures \u00a0by Israeli theatres and ensembles, as well as being presented at festivals like the Site-Dependent Festival in Tel Aviv (2010-14). The form&#8217;s unique actual and potential aesthetic features, deeply related to the complex psychological, social, and political significance connected with the notion of a home, require much further exploration. Within the Israeli context I analyze <em>The Peacock of Silwan<\/em> by Alma Ganihar and directed by Chen Alon and Sinai Peter; <em>The Apartment<\/em>, an adaptation of Franz Xaver Kroetz&#8217;s <em>Request Concert<\/em> staged by Michael Ronen; and <em>Eternal Sukkah<\/em> by the Sala-Manca Group to examine performance that engages with domestic locations as <em>found space<\/em>.<sup><a id=\"f5-text\" href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999#f5\" name=\"f5-text\">5<\/a><\/sup> Unlike scenographic representations of a fictive dramatic home onstage, suited to the architectural space in conventional theatres, domestic space is a kind of ready-made found object (<em>objet trouv\u00e9<\/em>); it can be called a deliberately found space, not one that was &#8220;found&#8221; accidentally; it can involve a creative transformation, whose traits and their belonging to the domestic space take an active part in modeling the domestic environment and a new frame of reference. Yet, beyond being a venue of site-specific performance, this concept serves me essentially by way of negation: while the site of the domestic performance is a <em>found<\/em> space, it also manifests a lack of domesticity and is often presented as a home <em>unfound<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/663999\">[to the article]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>his essay engages with domestic performances\u2014that is, works performed in private homes\u2014to explore the notion of domesticity within a political context, specifically in Israel.
