In rage rooms, paying customers relieve stress by smashing objects such as chinaware and electronics with weapons like baseball bats and sledgehammers. Since the first room opened in Japan in 2008, rage rooms have spread throughout the world. Providing frustrated people with a safe space in which they can be as violent as they want, rage room is a new, popular business that has been reshaping the idea of violence as therapy.In my thesis, I investigate the significance of distressed people gaining comfort from destroying objects. In the first chapter, "On Smashing," I discuss the concept of violence that has been newly shaped by rage room performance. To be more specific, I explore whether smashing objects constitutes violence given that the conventional understanding of violence presumes a perpetrator who harms and a victim who is harmed. I argue that the smasher's intention to harm and inanimate objects being harmed render smashing as violence. Then in the second half, I discuss the features of smashing, considering the reasons this particular physical activity-one of the most unrestrained actions that a human body can perform-offers itself as a new therapy. In doing so, I argue that the act of smashing generates the strange excitement of being violent, excessive, and aberrant.In the third chapter, "Raging with Things," I explore the actual scenes in a rage room, focusing on the features of the physically interactive relationship between a human-the smasher and objects-the smashed. Considering the way performance brings objects to life, I propose that a human and things in a rage room mutually activate each other.In the last chapter, "Women and Things," I take a closer look at a variable relationship between women and objects inside and outside rage rooms, given that women are the primary customers at rage rooms. In particular, I investigate how women's performance of smashing renders inanimate beings animate in rage rooms, focusing on the way female rage has socially been labeled and the way women have been objectified.Additionally, I introduce my own rage room experiences at three different locations-a suburb of Toronto, Manhattan in New York City, and downtown Rochester. Weaving the autobiographical pieces through thing theory and performance studies, I explore the aspect of female rage that drives women to rage rooms, as well as the way in which things and humans interact with each other.
