Theatrical fields

Theatrical Fields: Critical Strategies in Performance, Film, and Video" brings together a selection of seminal texts, commisioned essays and exhibition materials that explore the political potential of "theatricality". The reader stems from a long-term curatorial research examining the deep-rooted connection between theatre and theory juxtaposing artists and theoreticians from different generations and backgrounds who share a communal interest in the "theatricality" as a methodology to address questions of ideology, gender, power and resistance. In this conception, "theatricality" does not refer strictly only to the theatre and the theatrical arts; rather, it also points to the constructedness of everyday life. Theatrical forms make visible how our realities are staged, and also how our histories are constructed and performed.
