Artifact Description

In the Middle Ages and thereafter, apocalyptic fantasies have had a powerful attraction and, at particular historical moments, gained remarkable cultural traction. Performance is an especially valuable tool for imagining, expanding upon, and making “real” apocalyptic theology. Medieval plays and other kinds of performative genres (sermons; images; etc.) have helped to construct extremely evocative visions of the End Times. This panel showcases work that examines medieval performances of the End Times and their resonances across, and relevance to, later periods. (Jill Stevenson)
