Rokem (art, Tel Aviv U. ) focuses on four specific encounters between philosophers and thespians in order to explore relationships between the discursive practices of theater and philosophy. They are Plato's Symposium and the ancient quarrel between philosophy and poetry, Hamlet as philosopher and thespian, the Nietzsche-Strindberg correspondence, and Walter Benjamin and Bertold Brecht discuss Franz Kafka. In addition, he discusses accidents and catastrophic constellations in performative agendas and the performative storytelling of Walter Benjamin.
