Abstract

The article discusses the theme of Chris Burden's performing arts, particularly Through the Night Softly performance, which is associated with elements of danger and suffering. The Through the Night Softly piece is considered as among the most beautiful performance of Burden, which dealt with visual fantasy as well as the necessity for raising the threshold of pain. Burden has performed Through the Night Softly by crawling virtually naked across the asphalt pavement with fragments of glass.
