Robert Lepage's original stage productions

Zusatztext

This book explores the development of Robert Lepages distinctive approach to stage direction in the early (1984-1994) and middle (1995-2008) stages of his career, arguing that globalisation had a defining effect on shaping his aesthetic and his professional trajectory. In addition to globalisation theory, the book draws on cinema studies, queer theory, and theories of affect and reception.Each of six chapters treats a particular aspect of globalisation, using this as a means to explore one or more of Lepages productions. Productions discussed include<i>The Dragons Trilogy</i>,<i>Needles and Opium</i>, and<i>The Far Side of the Moon.</i><i>Making theatre global: Robert Lepages original stage productions</i> will be of interest to scholars of contemporary theatre, advanced-level undergraduates, and arts lovers keen for new perspectives on one of the most talked-about theatre artists of the early 21st century.
