Rhapsody For The Theatre

Rhapsody For The Theatre
- Used Book in Good Condition
For Alain Badiou, theatreâ‚¬"unlike cinemaâ‚¬"is the place for the staging of a truly emancipatory collective subject. In this sense theatre is, of all the arts, the one strictly homologous to politics: both theatre and politics depend on a limited set of texts or statements, collectively enacted by a group of actors or militants, which put a limit on the excessive power of the state. This explains why the history of theatre has always been inseparable from a history of state repression and censorship.

This definitive collection includes not only Badiouâ‚¬s pamphlet Rhapsody for the Theatre but also essays on Jean-Paul Sartre, on the political destiny of contemporary theatre, and on Badiouâ‚¬s own work as a playwright, as author of the Ahmed Tetralogy.
