Performance Spaces and Stage Technologies: A Comparative Perspective on Theatre History

Editat de Yuji Nawata, Hans Joachim Dethlefs
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2022

The history of theatre has often been written as a history of great writers, actors, or directors. This book takes a different approach: The contributors examine the history of performance from the perspective of theatre spaces and stage technologies. Art, literature, religion, law, urbanism, architecture, technology -- this interdisciplinary book discusses how these fields relate to theatre and performance. Geographically, it covers a significant portion of the globe; chronologically, it ranges from ancient times to the present. This book provides a timely attempt to combine cultural and global history.
