It is the first book to discuss work by The Sydney Front (1986 – 1993) and Open City (1987 – ), and engages contemporary cultural and aesthetic theory to analyse performances by these artists, as well as theatre productions by Jenny Kemp and others. These performance practitioners are considered as part of an international paradigm attesting to forms of theatre that no longer operate according to the established principles of drama. This book also highlights the complexity of Indigenous theatre through its analysis of the Mudrooroo-Müller project staged in 1996.Australian playwrights ;monograph no. 14.TheaterAustraliaElectronic books.Theater792.0994Hamilton Margaret879112MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456747403321Transfigured stages1963216UNINA
