This timely work addresses the reshaping of theatre and performance
after postmodernism. It provocatively argues that subsequent to
(and in some instances renouncing) the 'classic' postmodern tropes
of detachment, irony and contingency, theatre and performance
events in the 21st Century engage more overtly with meaning,
politics and society - and entail certain sorts of commitment. And
they involve a pronounced form of personal experience, often
implicating the body and/or one's sense of self. The book features
analysis of many performance events, drawn from a range of
international outputs. These include work by internationally
significant and emergent companies and directors such as Guy
Cassiers, Rimini Protokoll, C de la B and Richard Maxwell, Elevator
Repair Service, Kris Verdonck, Anthony Neilson and Punchdrunk. It
also examines a wider range of cultural phenomena - including
online social networking, reality TV programmes, sports events and
charity galas - where principles of performance are in play.It
represents a compelling and provocative resource for anybody
interested in discovering how performance theory can be applied to
cutting-edge culture, and indeed the world around them.
