Beyond Failure (eBook, ePUB)

New Essays on the Cultural History of Failure in Theatre and Performance
Redaktion: Fisher, Tony; Katsouraki, Eve

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In setting foot on stage, every performer invokes their own capacity to fail. The very performance of this action and those that follow it are inextricable from their potential not to succeed. Beyond Failure explores what it means for our understanding not just of theatrical practice but of human social and cultural activity more broadly.
