| Inhalt | Theatre has been described by different scholars as one of the most public of art forms that exist. Indeed, it has one big advantage compared to other art forms: theatre happens in the immediate interaction with its audience. Performers and spectators are there at the same time and place and can only make the performance possible together. “The focus of a large group of people”, Peter Brook says, “creates a unique intensity”, and he acknowledges: “No tribute to the latent power of theatre is as telling as that paid to it by censorship. In most regimes, even when the written word is free, the image free, it is still the stage that is liberated last. Instinctively, governments know that living event could create a dangerous electricity” (The Empty Space, 1968). In this course we want to explore the vast landscape of theatre plays which ‘stage resistance’, be it on levels of form, language, content or costume. From N’gugi to Shoyinka we will work on text and video material, engaging not only with the plays and the specific contexts from which they emerged, but also, we get a glimpse into theory of theatre analysis. |
