Theater im postkolonialen Zeitalter - Theatron
Balme, Professor Christopher B (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen)
Publisher Marketing: This book studies the phenomenon of aesthetic mixing evident in much theatre in postcolonial countries, i.e. in the countries of the former British Empire. The central focus of this study is on the concept of theatrical syncretism. This is defined as a theatre form where the cultural and performative elements of an indigenous culture are mixed with European theatrical concepts. Examples of plays and theatre forms are taken from Nigeria, South Africa, the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Contributor Bio: Balme, Christopher B, Professor Christopher Balme is Professor of Theatre Studies at the University of Munich.
