Incident at Antioch / L’Incident d’Antioche
«Badiou resembles Sartre in the versatility, creativity, and energy that make them major literary authors as well as philosophers. It is a measure of Spitzer's talent as a translator that she manages to preserve the literariness of Badiou's language-its difficulty, strangeness, and beauty-while making it vivid and fluid and consistent with the syntactical and grammatical demands of English. -- Joseph Litvak, Tufts University Badiou's work on and in the theatre are considerable contributions not only for their ability to give a sense of what a Badiouian approach to performance and theatre studies might be, but also for their capacity to bring Badiou's deep engagement with theatre to light for English-speaking scholars across a variety of philosophical and political fields. -- Ethan Philbrick TDR: The Drama Review A terse political treatise...

The Incident at Antioch is a key play marking Alain Badiou's transition from classical Marxism to a "politics of subtraction" far removed from party and state. Written with striking eloquence and extraordinary poetic richness, and shifting from highly serious emotional and intellectual drama to surreal comic interlude, the work features statesmen, workers, and revolutionaries struggling to reconcile the nature and practice of politics.
