Theatre and Event: Staging the European Century, examines how, in
these first decades of the twenty-first century, contemporary
European theatre-makers have sought to consider the disastrous
events of the twentieth century as the 'unfinished business' of the
contemporary. Kear argues that by thinking through the logic of the
event, and the theatre event especially, contemporary performance
practice enables an affective interrogation of 'the event' of the
European century.Examining the work of leading theatre companies,
Theatre and Event: Staging the European Century offers detailed
expositions and engaged analyses of key works by Needcompany
(Belgium), Jaunais Rigas Teatris (Latvia), Societas Raffaello
Sanzio (Italy), National Theatre Wales (UK), and Studios Kabako
(France/Democratic Republic of the Congo). This book offers an
original conception of the theatre event as an event which exists
in relation to, and performatively historicises, other 'events',
requiring a critical and creative practice of spectatorship to
animate its political affects.
