Routledge (EN) - 'Performing Religion on the Secular Stage' (Boek over Milo Rau's werk)

Milo Rau | 20 december 2022
'This book examines the relations between Western religion, secularism, and modern theatre and performance. The book compares this phenomenon with medieval forms of religious theatre and offers deep and original analyses of significant contemporary works ranging from plays and performances by August Strindberg, Hugo Ball (Dada), Jerzy Grotowski, and Hanoch Levin, to those created by Adrienne Kennedy, Rina Yerushalmi, Deb Margolin, Milo Rau, and Sarah Ruhl. The book analyses a new and original historiography of a uniquely modern theatrical phenomenon, a study that is of high importance considering the reemergence of religion in contemporary culture and politics.'
