The Radical in Performance: Between Brecht and Baudrillard
ISBN: 9780415186674 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Radical in Performance investigates the crisis in contemporary theatre, and celebrates the subversive in performance.

In staying focused on the period between Brecht and Baudrillard, modernity and postmodernism, Baz Kershaw identifies crucial resources for the revitalisation of the radical across a wide spectrum of cultural practices.

In this challenge to the received wisdom of the last 40 years of theatrical history, the author presents a different story altogether.
