Resum

This essay aims at delivering an analysis of the main ideas behind Fluxus, one of the most important art movements in the second half of the century: individualism, collectivism and corporality played a key role in the configuration of such a group. Using George Maciunas’ almost unknown work, Cross Dressing Ballet (ca. 1967), this essay explores the dilemmas gathered around such work in the context of Maciunas’ life and the wider context of Fluxus itself. In doing so the essay highlights several key concepts which intervene in the formation of this group and exposes how these provoked a series of debates and contradictions around the idea of the body that were essential in what we now associate with Fluxus. In its final chapters, the essay aims at contextualizing Maciunas’ works done at the end of his life, works that explore an unstable and unfixed identity through public acts of travestism and private acts of sadomasochism. Using Kaja Silverman’s theories, the essay concludes with an interpretation of such later works under the collectivist umbrella held by Maciunas himself
