Abstract

When we work for the performing arts there is state of thinking, you will find an interesting question. Example an music, it must being played among can exist. But each time the play can not be the same, but players will not want to play the same every time, because the performing arts is that it features a performance by a different time and space, have different effects performances. Here we encounter a situation: This piece every appear look are "different", but we always it "same an" works. Here we are faced with a choice: in the end is not a performing arts work identity, or is it generally perceived identity and we have differences? This paper from Gadamer starting for the analysis of artistic experience, that the identity of the performing arts work throughout the whole of the artistic experience but an expression, rather than the general object identity. When we consider the "Mode of being" of a work of performance art, we encounter an interesting problem. A piece of music, for instance, must exist in its being played. Every performance of the same piece, however, cannot be the same . The performer doesn't intend to play the piece exactly the same, if it can be avoided. This is because an important aspect of performance art is that it can manifest itself in different ways in different situations. The problem we now have is that every performance of any piece is "not identical", but we consider it to be "identical". We now have to choose whether any performance has its own identity or whether it is identified with the work. I try to consider this choice from Hans -Georg Gadamer's analysis of the experience of art, which indicates that the identity of the work of performance art is not that of a common physical object, but comes from the integration of the experience of art
