Sophocles had some pretty firm ideas about what made a good play,
among which the unity of time and place was central, so in a Sophocles
play all the action unfolds in one location in ‘real time’ before the eyes
of the audience, as it were. Live Art often has an element of this classical
purism. So what does this ‘placelessness’ mean for performance and
Live Art, the art form with an umbilical cord to real space and real time?
