ABSTRACT
This paper is about performance, charivari, i.e., political demonstration in the streets with its necessary disorganization, and politics. In order to accomplish this, we debate with Amselek, Lacan, Derrida, Agamben, and Rancière discussing the beginning: aisthesis, tohu-bohu or language? Real or reality? The performance is not fiction or representation. It does not present, it manifests, makes present, it puts something that was not there before. Art can be fiction. The performance to which we refer is not fiction: it throws in the face the real irreducible to representations.
