This book examines the relations between Western religion,
secularism, and modern theatre and performance. Sharon
Aronson-Lehavi posits that the ongoing cultural power of religious
texts, icons, and ideas on the one hand and the artistic freedom
enabled by secularism and avant-garde experimentalism on the other,
has led theatre artists throughout the twentieth century to create
a uniquely modern theatrical hybrid - theatre performances that
simultaneously re-inscribe and grapple with religion and religious
performativity. The book compares this phenomenon with medieval
forms of religious theatre and offers deep and original analyses of
significant contemporary works ranging from plays and performances
by August Strindberg, Hugo Ball (Dada), Jerzy Grotowski, and Hanoch
Levin, to those created by Adrienne Kennedy, Rina Yerushalmi, Deb
Margolin, Milo Rau, and Sarah Ruhl. The book analyses a new and
original historiography of a uniquely modern theatrical phenomenon,
a study that is of high importance considering the reemergence of
religion in contemporary culture and politics.
