This study of Egyptian theatre and its narrative construction
explores the ways representations of Egypt are created of and
within theatrical means, from the 19th century to the present day.
Essays address the narratives that structure theatrical, textual,
and performative representations and the ways the rewriting process
has varied in different contexts and at different times. Drawing on
concepts from Theatre and Performance Studies, Translation Studies,
Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Diaspora Studies,
scholars and practitioners from Egypt and the West enter into
dialogue with one another, expanding understanding of the different
fields. The articles focus on the ways theatre texts and
performances change (are rewritten) when crossing borders between
different worlds. The concept of rewriting is seen to include
translation, transformation, and reconstruction, and the different
borders may be cultural and national, between languages and
dramaturgies, or borders that are present in people's everyday
lives. Essays consider how rewritings and performances cross
borders from one culture, nation, country, and language to another.
They also study the process of rewriting, the resulting
representations of foreign plays on stage, and representations of
the Egyptian revolution on stage and in Tahrir Square. This
assessment of the relationship between theatre practices,
exchanges, and rewritings in Egyptian theatre brings vital coverage
to an undervisited area and will be of interest to developments in
theatre translation and beyond.
