Can any body help me with the meaning of the following sentence? It is about the differences between "play" and "performance".
1. Do "arising" and "directed" refer to "its" i.e "play"?
2. What does "contradictory problematic" mean?
But, unlike performance, its impulse is probably not to engage at a profound level with a ‘contradictory problematic’ arising specifically from the location in question and directed at an audience of casual witnesses who are, though it is difficult to generalise in this regard, real users of that space with a particular relationship to it.
