Lepage’s technique is defined here as ‘scenographic dramaturgy’, a process and product that de-privileges dramatic text and relies instead on evocative, visual performance and intercultural collaboration to re-envision extant plays and operas. Following a detailed analysis of Lepage’s adaptive process and its place in the continuum of scenic writing and auteur theatre, this book features four case studies charting the role of Lepage’s scenographic dramaturgy in re-‘writing’ extant texts, including Shakespeare’s Tempest on Huron-Wendat territory, Stravinsky’s Nightingale in a twenty-seven ton pool, and Wagner’s Ring cycle via the infamous, sixteen-million-dollar Metropolitan Opera production. The final case study offers the first interrogation of Lepage’s twenty-first century ‘auto-adaptations’ of his own seminal texts, The Dragons’ Trilogy and Needles & Opium. Though aimed at academic readers, this book will also appeal to practitioners given its focus on performance-making, adaptation and intercultural collaboration.Adaptation in Theatre and PerformanceTheaterTheater—Production and directionActorsContemporary Theatrehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415040Theatre Direction and Productionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415050Performers and Practitionershttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/415090Theater.Theater—Production and direction.Actors.Contemporary Theatre.Theatre Direction and Production.Performers and Practitioners.792.0233092Poll Melissaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut916039BOOK9910300037603321Robert Lepage’s Scenographic Dramaturgy2053540UNINA
