Theatre and Performance in Digital Culture examines the recent
history of advanced technologies, including new media, virtual
environments, weapons systems and medical innovation, and considers
how theatre, performance and culture at large have evolved within
those systems.
The book examines the two Iraq wars, 9/11 and the War on Terror
through the lens of performance studies, and, drawing on the
writings of Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou and Martin Heidegger,
alongside the dramas of Beckett, Genet and Shakespeare, and the
theatre of the Kantor, Foreman, SocA-etas Raffaello Sanzio and the
Wooster Group, the book positions theatre and performance in
technoculture and articulates the processes of aesthetics,
metaphysics and politics.
This wide-ranging study reflects on how the theatre and
performance have been challenged and extended within these new
cultural phenomena.
