Paris has always exerted a magnetic force on artists; it has
historically offered safety to those escaping oppressive regimes in
Europe and farther afield. In recent years it has welcomed
performers, artists and intellectuals from all over the world,
offering strategies for the practice of theatre in a new Europe of
ever-shifting boundaries. This book, once again available in
paperback, examines the creation and development of communities of
actors, directors, designers and playwrights in Paris over the past
thirty years. It shows how the willingness of the city to welcome
international influences has enriched its creative life. Many of
the most important trends and new developments in the art of
theatre have been the direct result of the creative combination of
influences from all over the world. This study demonstrates how the
pioneering work of Brook, Boal, Mnouchkine, Lecoq and many others
has been able to draw on this vibrant, multi-cultural mix, in turn
creating new work that has enriched theatre's potential to enlarge
our thinking and our imagination. -- .
