Investigates the crisis in contemporary theatre, and celebrates the subversive in performance.
Part of the Library of Performing Rights (LPR) (P3041).
The publication is comprised of eight essays, two interviews, and 15 case studies of political theatre makers, and investigates the performing arts as a political laboratory of the present. It explores how theatre, dance, and performance reveal their essential agnosticism, provoking the potential to actively change society rather than merely serving as a cover-up for the dysfunctions, fractures, and wounds of society.
