Two books by Lampros Filippou
The two books are one inquiry. The Deep-Truth Method™ examines the performer and the relationship. What Is Missing? extends dramaturgical diagnosis beyond performance and into the structures that shape stories, attention, culture, algorithms and daily life.
The Deep-Truth Method™ is the foundation. What Is Missing? is the tool. The Diagnostic is the author applying both to your work.

Audiobook preorderWhat Is Missing?
A Dramaturgical Diagnosis of Reality
The question every dramaturg asks of a script that fails is rarely asked of reality: what is missing, structurally and specifically, right now? What Is Missing? carries dramaturgy beyond theater, tracing the structures of stories, attention, culture, algorithms and daily life. It follows consequence chains, identifies false additions and separates cosmetic correction from structural change.
The Deep-Truth Method™ begins with performance and relationship. What Is Missing? follows dramaturgical diagnosis outward into the structures of culture and daily life.
