Taken in context with the political parties real crisis and, above all, the regime’ s manipulation of information, the essay contends that these performances produced powerful symbols that resignified the sense of the communal and the political. The piece analyzes the three most popular performances: “Wash the flag,” “Put the trash in the trash can,” and “The wall of shame” and concludes with a theoretical meditation about the political efficacy of these performatic acts, reflecting on their continuity and intermittency. One of the central conclusions of this article is that it is crucial that these symbolic interventions are carried out in conjunction with many other revolt strategies.
