How does the act of performance speak to the concept of
commemoration? How and why does commemorative theatre operate as a
conceptual, historical and political site from which to interrogate
ideas of nationalism and nationhood? This volume explores how
theatre and performance create a stage for acts of commemoration,
considering crises of hate, nationalism and migration, as well as
political, racial and religious bigotry. It features case studies
drawn from across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Latin
America. The book's four parts each explore commemoration through a
different theoretical lens and present a new set of dramaturgies
for research and study. While Section 1 offers a critical survey of
20th- and 21st-century discourses, Section 2 uncovers the
commemorative practices underpinning contemporary dramaturgy and
applies these practices to plays and performance pieces. These
include works by Martin Lynch, Frank McGuinness, Sanja Mitrovic,
Theater RAST, Les SlovaKs Dance Collective, Estela Golovchenko,
Wajdi Mouawad, Aine Stapleton, CoisCeim, ANU Productions, Aubrey
Sekhabi, and Indian and African dance practices. The final sections
investigate how individual and collective memory and performances
of commemoration can become tools for propaganda and political
agendas.
