Through a series of case studies, this book explores the role of
live animals on the stage, from the early modern era to the present
time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations
of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the
hybridization of the drama with the circus, the zoo, and the
cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the
text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical
fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that
attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations -
within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific
use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest
manifestation on the early modern stage, the chapters contextualize
and theorize particular uses of the animal actor, and key into
current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies.
While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were
formed, the collection delves into the multiple ways through which
the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in
Theatre and Performance.
