The Use of Asian Theatre for Modern Western Theatre: The Displaced Mirror
Autor Min Tianen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 dec 2019
This
book
is
a
historical
study
of
the
use
of
Asian
theatre
for
modern
Western
theatre
as
practiced
by
its
founding
fathers,
including
Aurélien
Lugné-Poe,
Adolphe
Appia,
Gordon
Craig,
W.
B.
Yeats,
Jacques
Copeau,
Charles
Dullin,
Antonin
Artaud,
V.
E.
Meyerhold,
Sergei
Eisenstein,
and
Bertolt
Brecht.
It
investigates
the
theories
and
practices
of
these
leading
figures
in
their
transnational
and
cross-cultural
relationship
with
Asian
theatrical
traditions
and
their
interpretations
and
appropriations
of
the
Asian
traditions
in
their
reactional
struggles
against
the
dominance
of
commercialism
and
naturalism.
From
the
historical
and
aesthetic
perspectives
of
traditional
Asian
theatres,
it
approaches
this
intercultural
phenomenon
as
a
(Euro)centred
process
of
displacement
of
the
aesthetically
and
culturally
differentiated
Asian
theatrical
traditions
and
of
their
historical
differences
and
identities.
Looking
into
the
displaced
and
distorted
mirror
of
Asian
theatre,
the
founding
fathers
of
modern
Western
theatre
saw,
in
their
imagination
of
the
'ghostly'
Other,
nothing
but
a
(self-)reflection
or,
more
precisely,
a
(self-)projection
and
emplacement,
of
their
competing
ideas
and
theories
preconceived
for
the
construction,
and
the
future
development,
of
modern
Western
theatre.

this

eye-opening

be
valuable
as
a
key

reposition
occidental

to
better
reflect
the
role

performance
has
had
–
albeit
in

and
inspiration
only
–
on
their
evolution.”
