Designed for undergraduate performance, "Carnival Texts"
comprises three related dramatic works, all of which have as their
point of departure Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin's concept of
carnival, a literary style designed to subvert dominant assumptions
through chaos and humor. Making creative use of post-Brechtian
performance theory, these texts blur the distinction between
spectator and performer in a fascinating exploration of physical,
moral, and cultural upheaval in a postmodern age. Performance
theory is crucial to understanding how performance affects
collective understanding, and this book will be of interest to a
broad range of students of drama and theater.
