Performance in place of war

"Performance in Place of War is concerned with theatre in refugee camps, in war affected villages, in towns under curfew, in cities under occupation. This book presents theatre and performance that occurs, literally, at the moment bombs are falling, as well as during times of ceasefire and in the aftermaths of war." "Drawing on extensive original material and including descriptions of practice, interviews with artists, extracts from plays and photographs from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kosovo, Israel, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, Palestine, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Sudan, the UK and US, the authors combine critical commentary, overviews of the conflicts and firsthand accounts. Some of the crucial questions addressed by this volume include: Why, in times of disruption, has there been a turn to performance? What aesthetic, ethical and political choices are made in these different contexts? What can these examples tell us about the role of performance in our unpredictable times?" --Book Jacket.
