This is a masterful analysis of the role that staging has played in the creation and practice of theatre throughout history. This stunningly ambitious study considers: The staged reading, at the frontiers of mise en scne Scenography, which sometimes replaces staging The reinterpretation of classical and contemporary works The development of intercultural theatre and ritual New technologies and their usage live on the stage The postmodern practice of deconstruction. But it also applies sustained critical attention to the challenges of defining mise en scne, of tracking its development, and of exploring its possible futures. Joel Andersons powerful new translation lucidly realises Paviss investigation of the changing possibilities for stagecraft in the context of performance art, physical theatre and modern theory.
