Title: Space and time in epic theater
Description: "Epic practice is examined in relation to the history of the concepts of space and time, but the heart of the book is its historical, socio-critical, and semiotic analyses of productions in the epic mode: Hasek's The Good Soldier Schwejk, directed by Piscator; Mother Courage, written and directed by Brecht; Lenz's The Tutor, directed by Brecht; Ibsen's Peer Gynt, productions directed by Peter Stein and Rustom Bharucha; Buchner's Leon and Lena (& lenz), directed by JoAnne Akalaitis; and Les Atrides (The House of Atreus) from Aeschylus and Euripides, directed by Ariane Mnouchkine. For scholars and artists as well as non-theater-experts this study offers a deeper understanding of representation on the stage, with relevance also for the other arts, the mass media, and cyberspace."--Jacket.
