The 1960s space : performance and protest -- pt. 2. Culture after the bubble : performance and performativity -- pt. 3. Rethinking radical spaces in the Japanese avant-garde theatre.This is the first history of Japan's avant-garde underground theatre ( angura ) in a time of its most intense, creative, and original productions, viz. 1960-2000. It closely investigates the interrelationship of aesthetics and politics and explores contrasting examples of contemporary performance in relation to social context and cultural history. Part one considers the 1960s era of protest and theatrical invention. The second part examines theatre in the 1980s, a time of unprecedented economic boom. The final section considers the work of four of the most important companies of the 1990s and explores how they are grappling with manifold new political and artistic challenges.Brill's Japanese Studies Library ;23.Avant-garde Performance and Politics in Japan, 1960-2000Experimental theaterJapanTheaterJapanHistory20th centuryTheaterPolitical aspectsJapanElectronic books.Experimental theaterTheaterJapanHistoryTheaterPolitical aspects792.095209045Eckersall Peter892297NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910451139803321Theorizing the angura space2253549UNINA
