Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement presents a claim about what is essential for a performance art event: that there must be a live audience and live performers telling a story.
Option 1) True: This suggests that live audience and live performers who convey a narrative are fundamental components. In many traditional and contemporary performance arts, the presence of an audience and live performance are central elements, and storytelling is a common method to convey meaning, themes, or conflict, which supports the idea that these components are key in at least many performance contexts.
Option 2) False: This would assert that one or both elements are not required. However, there are forms of performance art where a live audience is not present or where there is no explicit storytelling, such as purely abstract performances, installations, or pre-recorded pieces presented as part of a live event. In those cases, the claim would hold differently, but the statement under examination claims universal necessity, which these counterexamples refute. Yet, to challenge this option effectively, one would need to argue that performance art can function without either live performers or storytelling, which contradicts common frameworks in performance studies that emphasize presence (performers) and engagement (audience).
Option 2 also risks conflating performance with other art forms. If the question intends to express a general or typical characteristic rather than an absolute rule, it would require phrasing to indicate that nuance. Without such nuance, this option stands in direct opposition to the described claim.
In summary, while there are exceptions in the broader field of performance art, the statement aligns with a conventional understanding that live presence and audience engagement are central to most performance events, and storytelling is a common, though not strictly universal, mechanism.
