In 1971, Canada became the first country to adopt an official
policy of multiculturalism. ,em>Performing the Intercultural
City explores how Toronto – a representative global city in this
multicultural country – stages diversity through its many
intercultural theater companies and troupes. The book begins with a
theoretical introduction to theatrical interculturalism. Subsequent
chapters outline the historical and political context within which
intercultural performance takes place; examine the ways in which
Indigenous, Filipino, and Afro-Caribbean Canadian theater has
developed play structures based on culturally specific forms of
expression; and explore the ways that intercultural companies have
used intermediality, modernist form, and intercultural discourse to
mediate across cultures. Performing the Intercultural City will
appeal to scholars, artists, and the theater-going public,
including those in theater and performance studies, urban studies,
critical multiculturalism studies, diaspora studies, critical
cosmopolitanism studies, critical race theory, and cultural
studies.
