Staging Interspaces in Contemporary British Theatre: Environment and Fluidity

Autor Vicky Angelaki
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 iun 2024
This open access book considers how relationships to place and spatial ecologies more broadly are becoming redefined in light of intersecting climate, health, identity and care crises. Through an interdisciplinary, intersectional discourse it investigates how spaces of liminality frame contemporary human conditions in their interactional modes with both human and non-human ecologies. The interspace grounds the discussion, indicating states of flux and transience, where the in-between is the defining characteristic. This open access monograph, then, takes up the new complexity in one’s relationship(s) to their surrounding spaces through a rigorous discussion of texts and performance contexts in cutting-edge contemporary British theatre on a national and international scale. It seeks to address how in-betweenness spatially, temporally, environmentally, geographically and socially conceived has been emerging as the primary state for the unmoored individual of our time – and how it might serve as catalyst for performing one's agency in modes more empathetic not only to other humans, but, also, and equally, to the non-human world.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“This is a compelling, passionately argued, and critically incisive study of the environments and dynamic ‘interspaces’ of contemporary British theatre and performance. Focusing on the work of key playwrights, Angelaki identifies the kinds of space that feature on stage - domestic, transient, liminal, ‘deviant’, and/or virtual - and, in so doing, explores theatrical responses to a range of urgent socio-political issues, including human trafficking, migration, the climate emergency, and ubiquitous digital culture. This is an ambitious and thought-provoking book; it is also a testament to the politics, possibilities, and profound significance of spatial world-building in contemporary theatre.”
