Aunque no se dispone de una respuesta final respecto de categorizar "Water Walk" en un género determinado, este escrito intenta establecer que la pieza presenta un carácter performático que la acerca más a una idea teatral y/o de arte de acción que a una composición musical.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/3975 10.34096/tdf.n26.3975 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/3975/3551 telondefondo.
