Description
Theatre and Animals by Lourdes Orozco García explores the complex relationships between humans and animals in performance. This thought-provoking text examines how animals can transform our understanding of theatre, revealing new ways in which it engages with broader social, economic, and ethical questions. By incorporating animals into performances, the book argues that theatre is forced to re-evaluate its own production and reception practices. This innovative approach challenges traditional notions of what it means for a performance to be meaningful and thought-provoking. Through this lens, Orozco García sheds new light on the ways in which theatre can engage with wider cultural and philosophical debates, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the intersection of art, ethics, and society.
