9780822366157 - Theater and Violence von Sellar, Tom (6 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. As violence escalates around the world, its victims and perpetrators struggle to develop comprehensible narratives to present truthful accounts of history and experience. This special issue of Theater--a collection of theater artists' responses to contemporary events--examines the human psyche and its capacity for violence and explores theater's possibilities for political dissent. In Theater and Violence, through interviews, play excerpts, and full-length plays--including the first American publication of two major German playwrights and directors--theater artists offer their own narratives for humankind's violent psychologies. One full-length play, Falk Richter's Seven Seconds (In God We Trust), probes the mind of an American pilot moments before he releases a bomb on a city below. Another, Rene Pollesch's 24 Hours Are Not a Day, humorously explores the ironies and pathologies of globalization after September 11. The issue also includes a commentary on the National Endowment for the Arts's Shakespeare presentations for the U.S. military; interviews with Russian theater artists on the first anniversary of the Chechen rebels' siege of a Moscow theater; and Jonathan Kalb's powerful adaptation of Heiner Muller's Mauser, set in Tikrit.Contributors.
