What sort of thing is a theatre image? How is it produced and
consumed? Who is responsible for the images? Why do the images stay
with us when the performance is over? How do we learn to speak of
what we see and imagine? And how do we relate what we experience in
the theatre to what we share with each other of the world? The
Illuminated Theatre is a book about theatricality and spectatorship
in the early twenty-first century. In a wide-ranging analysis that
draws upon theatrical, visual and philosophical approaches, it asks
how spectators and audiences negotiate the complexities and
challenges of contemporary experimental performance arts. It is
also a book about how European practitioners working across a range
of forms, from theatre and performance to dance, opera, film and
visual arts, use images to address the complexities of the times in
which their work takes place. Through detailed and impassioned
accounts of works by artists such as Dickie Beau, Wendy Houstoun,
Alvis Hermanis and Romeo Castellucci, along with close readings of
experimental theoretical and art writing from Gillian Rose to T.J.
Clark and Marie-Jose Mondzain, the book outlines the historical,
aesthetic and political dimensions of a contemporary 'suffering of
images.'
