Description
The Radical in Performance by Baz Kershaw investigates the crisis in contemporary theatre and celebrates the subversive in performance. This study explores the link between Western theatre, which is largely outdated, and the blossoming of postmodern performance with its radical edge. Kershaw identifies crucial resources for revitalising the radical across various cultural practices within a specific period, bridging Brecht and Baudrillard's modernity and postmodernism. The book offers a timely, necessary, and rigorous analysis that will appeal to those seeking a critical catalyst for new ways of viewing and practising cultural politics. This study is a compelling read for anyone interested in theatre, performance, or cultural politics, offering valuable insights into the current state of contemporary theatre and its potential for renewal.
