Usage examples[edit]

The example sentence for definition 2 (reproduced below) is completely incomprehensible. What is it even about? What is the "double" of American theatre? What does MPD stand for? Please replace. Is this the definition being used in the recent buzzphrases "performative outrage" and "performative anti-racism"?

"Keeping both American theater and its double within the sight lines, I would like to look at MPD as a pathology in which both both performativity and social performance are outstripped by a mise-en-scène that veers past the merely performative and dangerously close to theater itself, threatening to erase the differences in its very misappearance."
