Hardback
Description
This collection of specially-commissioned, accessible, essays explores that element of performance theory known as theatricality.
Six case studies, each written by a specialist in the field, use historically specific circumstances to illustrate how and why the concept of theatricality was and is used.
Topics discussed include early use of the term; employment of 'theatricality' by a number of other disciplines to describe events; non-Western interpretation of theatricality; and its use when discussing and analyzing political and cultural events and philosophies.
The book provides a first-step guide for those discovering the complex yet rewarding world of performance theory.
