Shakespeare and (Eco-)Performance History
Seismic shifts in the theatrical meanings of The Merry Wives of Windsor have taken place across the centuries as Shakespeare’s frequently performed play has relocated to Windsor across the world, journeying along the production/adaptation/appropriation continuum. This (eco-)performance history of Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor not only offers the first in-depth analysis of the play in production, with a particular focus on the representation of merry women, but also utilises the comedy’s forest-aware dramaturgy to explore Mistress Page’s concept of being ‘frugal in my mirth’ in relation to sustainable theatre practices. Herne’s Oak – the fictitious tree in Windsor Forest where everyone meets in the final scene of the play – is utilised to enable a maverick but ecologically based reframing of the productions of Merry Wives analysed here. This study engages with gender, physical comedy, and cultural relocations of Windsor across the world to offer new insight into Merry Wives and its theatricality.
Wasee Waseee!
Mchongoanos do not have an exact definition, but in Kenya they agree that they are "uniquely formulated jokes that tend to exaggerate or bring out the worst of one's physical characteristics, behaviour and ingelligence. The joke is on your father, your grandma, your dog, the size of your head or the dumbness of it. Nothing escapes". Appealing to the young and old, Mchongoanos are the popular manifestation of humour : two people challenge with jokes and the funniest person rules. This enchantingly colour illustratated collection adds a further "dissing pleasure" - the jokes are in Sheng and English. Sheng, the word deriving from Swahili-English, being the Swahili-based patois originating among the urban youth in Nairobi and influenced by the many languages spoken there, and now spread to Tanzania and Uganda.
Staging 21st Century Tragedies
Staging 21st Century Tragedies: Theatre, Politics, and Global Crisis is an international collection of essays by leading academics, artists, writers, and curators examining ways in which the global tragedies of our century are being negotiated in current theatre practice. In exploring the tragic in the fields of history and theory of theatre, the book approaches crisis through an understanding of the existential and political aspect of the tragic condition. Using an interdisciplinary perspective, it showcases theatre texts and productions that enter the public sphere, manifesting notably participatory, immersive, and documentary modes of expression to form a theatre of modern tragedy. The co...
Why Theatre?
For two years now, the Belgian theatre NTGent and the Berlin based Verbrecher Verlag have been publishing the series The Golden Books: Books on the theory and practice of contemporary performance art, on individual plays and general social questions. For the 5th volume, after months of cultural lockdown, when live arts were in a state of emergency and the whole institution rethought their priorities, NTGent asked more than 100 of the most influential artists and intellectuals in the world the question: Why theatre? Why is this art form so unique, so beautiful, so indispensable? From classical theatre to performance art and dance, from activism to political theatre and the performativity of e...
Theaterwissenschaft postkolonial/dekolonial
Was bedeutet die Forderung nach einer »Dekolonisierung der Universität« für die deutschsprachige Theaterwissenschaft? Wie könnte eine post- oder dekoloniale Theaterwissenschaft aussehen? Und welche institutionellen und methodologischen Veränderungen sind nötig, um intersektionale Analysen von Race, Class, Gender und Sexuality strukturell zu verankern? Ausgehend von ihren Erfahrungen in Lehre, Forschung und Theaterpraxis gehen die Beitragenden des Bandes diesen Fragen nach und liefern dabei vielfältige Anregungen für alle, die ihre Curricula, Seminar- und Probenräume von kolonialen Spuren befreien wollen.
