Description

Performing the Intercultural City explores how Toronto stages diversity through its many intercultural theater companies and troupes. This book begins with a theoretical introduction to theatrical interculturalism, before examining the historical and political context of intercultural performance in Canada. Subsequent chapters outline the development of Indigenous, Filipino, and Afro-Caribbean Canadian theater, as well as how intercultural companies use intermediality, modernist form, and intercultural discourse to mediate across cultures. This book will appeal to scholars, artists, and theater enthusiasts interested in performance studies, urban studies, multiculturalism, diaspora studies, cosmopolitanism, critical race theory, and cultural studies.
