The Body of an American de Dan O'Brien

The Body of an American

Autor Dan O'Brien
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2014
Dan O'Brien's gripping and provocative play, "The Body of an American" speaks to a moment in recent history when a single, stark photograph - of the body of an American dragged from the wreck of a Blackhawk through the streets of Mogadishu - reshaped the course of global events. In a story ranging far in time and place, from Rwanda to Afghanistan to the Canadian Arctic, and in powerful, theatrical language, Dan O'Brien explores the ethical and personal consequences of Paul Watson's photograph, as well as the interplay between political upheaval and the experience of trauma in an age saturated by images and information.

Recenzii

...a feisty docu-drama about Paul Watson...a fascinating mix of troubled and troubling biography and autobiography...holds you in a steely grip.
...an engrossingly subjective docu-drama which feels psychologically acute and politically important...a really superb piece of theatre.
The Body of an American is a play about writing a play but it's also an intricate meditation on the nature of memory and guilt.
A play that tightens its grip as it probes where war lives, and discovers we each carry it inside ourselves.
Provides ample food for thought - Moment by moment the livewire, oddly introspective theatrical experience keeps us on our toes, and accumulatively it presents us with a debate about where we should draw the line between observation and involvement, what's good about curiosity and what's bad.
