Luxury is a known phenomenon tied to the history of cultures and costumes, to the development of economic systems and to the evolution of thinking; however, some major common factors with performing studies can be pointed out. Perceived for a long time as a means of corruption and social inequalities, political instability and moral degradation. Luxury in modern history has become a key element for capitalism and, at the same time, subject of bitter philosophical controversy about the utility of the superfluous and its moral justification. Over time luxury has assumed the form of a complex concept, difficult to circumscribe; its domains cover and intersects various spheres of the knowledge –from anthropology to sociology –from performing arts to marketing –and it underlines aporias, links and multiform correlations. Fueled by cultural, identity and symbolic instances, by existential and dynamic processes of desire that go beyond market rules and yet substantiate it, the experience of luxury is inscribed in the dialectic between public representation and processes of subjectivation. The primary elements of performative studies such as space, time and emotions are crucial to understand the social narrative; although this defines the added value of goods, is not easy to measure. Luxury reconfigures spaces, social relationships, forms of consumption, skills and spheres of influence and power.
