Abstract
As text, performance, and pop-culture signifier, we can trace Peter Shaffer's play Equus – from its avant-garde influences through its middle-class anxieties to the middlebrow spectacle of the recent high-profile production in London – as a local example of a familiar (but not inevitable) narrative of the dilution and recuperation of avant-garde aesthetics by a late-capitalist economic system of transnational media integration and commodification. The play itself, from its original production onward, pathologizes and contains the avant-garde as both mad and queer, recuperating it into a framework of liberal, middle-class ethics and economics, an effort that is redoubled by this most recent production in text, in performance, and in the material context of the performance. But even as this play, in performance, seems to help mark out the trajectory of the death of the avant-garde, it also troubles the waters of this death-narrative with traces of the residuum of a resistant, even queered, avant-garde that lingers beyond narrative containment and cultural co-opting.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
