Theatre of Real People: Diverse Encounters at Berlin’s Hebbel am Ufer and Beyond de Ulrike Garde

Theatre of Real People: Diverse Encounters at Berlin’s Hebbel am Ufer and Beyond: Methuen Drama Engage

Autor Ulrike Garde, Meg Mumford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mai 2016
Theatre of Real People offers fresh perspectives on the current fascination with putting people on stage who present aspects of their own lives and who are not usually trained actors. After providing a history of this mode of performance, and theoretical frameworks for its analysis, the book focuses on work developed by seminal practitioners at Berlin's Hebbel am Ufer (HAU) production house. It invites the reader to explore the HAU's innovative approach to Theatre of Real People, authenticity and cultural diversity during the period of Matthias Lilienthal's leadership (2003-12). Garde and Mumford also elucidate how Theatre of Real People can create and destabilise a sense of the authentic, and suggest how Authenticity-Effects can present new ways of perceiving diverse and unfamiliar people. Through a detailed analysis of key HAU productions such as Lilienthal's brainchild X-Apartments, Mobile Academy's Blackmarket, and Rimini Protokoll's 100% City, the book explores both the artistic agenda of an important European theatre institution, and a crucial aspect of contemporary theatre's social engagement.

Recenzii

With this book, Garde and Mumford notably advance the study of Theatre of the Real and of the performer in documentary theatre . The notion of a skeptical approach to Authenticity-Effects and the impact that this can have on willing audiences is a thrilling step forward in the field and one that can have a wide impact among both scholars and theatre practitioners.
A fascinating account of recent modes of socially engaged performance that places contemporary people drawn from the everyday, rather than trained actors, at the center of the theatrical experience ... the analyses in Chapters 5-8 of Theatre of Real People are lively and incisive.
