Performance Research: Letters from Europe (Paperback)

Europe is a continent in a state of rapid-- and frequently unsettling, transition. In the past five years, a total of twelve new states have emerged in a continent in which only five countries can boast of having had stable borders for more than a hundred years.
Accompanied by in-depth articles and interviews discussing European performance today, "Letters from Europe" uses the framing device of the letter-- letters from theater makers, artists and critics-- to present an intensive, up-to-date survey of the performance forms of the new Europe, the relationship of the old and the new, the minority theaters in Europe and the place of dissident theaters in fin-de-siecle Europe.
