The Art of Light on Stage is the first history of theatre lighting
design to bring the story right up to date. In this extraordinary
volume, award-winning designer Yaron Abulafia explores the poetics
of light, charting the evolution of lighting design against the
background of contemporary performance. The book looks at the
material and the conceptual; the technological and the
transcendental. Never before has theatre design been so vividly and
excitingly illuminated. The book examines the evolution of lighting
design in contemporary theatre through an exploration of two
fundamental issues: 1. What gave rise to the new directions in
lighting design in contemporary theatre? 2. How can these new
directions be viewed within the context of lighting design history?
The study then focuses on the phenomenological and semiotic aspects
of the medium for light - the role of light as a performer, as the
medium of visual perception and as a stimulus for imaginative
representations - in selected contemporary theatre productions by
Robert Wilson, Romeo Castellucci, Heiner Goebbels, Jossi Wieler and
David Zinder. This ground-breaking book will be required reading
for anyone concerned with the future of performance.
