As you might or might not remember “performance” in INDEX is broadly defined–these can be traditional theater pieces, performances for camera, performances for your dog/cat/lizard/loved one/stuffed animal you will never surrender/so forth. These can be imaginary performances/failed performances/attempted performances/rescued performances–you get my drift. If you are wondering if you can include it, the answer is most likely yes.
