Carnival Texts : Three Plays for Ensemble Performance, Paperback / softback Book

Carnival Texts : Three Plays for Ensemble Performance Paperback / softback

Part of the Playtext series

Paperback / softback

Available to Order - This title is available to order, with delivery expected within 2 weeks

Description

Designed for undergraduate performance, Carnival Texts comprises three related dramatic works, all of which have as their point of departure Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of carnival, a literary style designed to subvert dominant assumptions through chaos and humor.

Making creative use of post-Brechtian performance theory, these texts blur the distinction between spectator and performer in a fascinating exploration of physical, moral, and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age.

Performance theory is crucial to understanding how performance affects collective understanding, and this book will be of interest to a broad range of students of drama and theater.
