A global history of theatre and performance as a history of architecture and technology including case studies on Babylonia, Europe, China, and Japan.
The history of theatre has often been written as a history of great writers, actors, or directors. Performance Spaces and Stage Technologies takes a different approach: The contributors examine the history of performance from the perspective of theatre spaces and stage technologies.
Art, literature, religion, law, urbanism, architecture, technology β this interdisciplinary book discusses how these fields relate to theatre and performance. Geographically, it covers a significant portion of the globe; chronologically, it ranges from ancient times to the present.
This book provides a timely attempt to combine cultural and global history.
