Title: The paper canoe
Subtitle: a guide to theatre anthropology
First published: 1995
Description: An enormously exciting, beautifully written and very moving work, The Paper Canoe is a crucial document for the understanding of late twentieth century intercultural performance.  It comprises a fascinating dialogue with such masters of theatre as Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Craig, Copeau, Brecht, Artaud and Decroux; establishing beyond doubt the importance of Barba's practical and theoretical work for today's theatre makers and students. Eugenio Barba, director, theorist and founder of the Odin Teatret, is now one of the major points of reference for contemporary experimental theatre. This is the first English translation of his seminal work on theatre anthropology.
