Beyond his internationally performed and acclaimed theatrical productions, and his award-winning theatre company The Wrestling School, he is also a poet, a painter whose work has been exhibited internationally, and a philosophical essayist cognisant of the unique power of art to provoke moral speculation, and of the distinctive theatricality of the human being in times of crisis. This collection of essays provides international perspectives on the full range of Barker's achievements, theatrical and otherwise, and argues for their unique importance and urgency at the forefront of several genres of provocative modern art. It includes an interview with the artist and an essay by Barker himself. 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 610 $aHoward Barker. 610 $aI Saw Myself. 610 $aScenes from an Execution. 610 $aThe Bite of the Night. 610 $aThe Wrestling school. 610 $amodern art. 610 $anakedness. 610 $apaintings. 610 $aplays. 610 $apoetry. 610 $atheatre. 610 $atriple excavation. 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 676 $a822.914 702 $aGoldingay$b Sarah 702 $aRabey$b David Ian$f1958- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827916903321 996 $aHoward Barker's art of theatre$94014204 997 $aUNINA
