"There is no independent Arab theatre; the Arabs adopted this genre from Europe." For a long time this was the predominant thesis in Europe and the Arab world. But what is theatre precisely? Does this concept have the same meaning in all cultures at all times? The author pursues these questions employing criteria developed in current cultural studies. She shows the status enjoyed by the story-teller and ritual games in modern Arab theatre. Such experimentation, wherein traditional elements are connected with current concerns, displays astounding parallels to theatre in Europe, Africa, China, and Latin America. Do these experiments share a common language, a global aesthetic? Drawing on numerous examples, the author shows that Arab theatre has emerged and developed in a process of transcultural interactions and that this transcultural dynamic is indispensable for understanding Arab theatre.
