Theatre and Performance in Latin America

An excellent addition to the Worlds of Performance series. Jill Lane has collected together a very wide-ranging selection of pieces from The Drama Review and beyond to compile an introduction to this growing area of interest. Divided into four sections, the book covers: performance and colonial realities; theatre and social action; the relationship between performance practice and political regimes; and the body. Theatre, folk performance, dance, carnivals and fiestas are all discussed by artists, cirtics and academics.Lane, Jill is the author of 'Theatre and Performance in Latin America ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415283830 and ISBN 0415283833.
