{"product_id":"theatre-and-the-world-rustom-bharucha-9780415092159","title":"Theatre and the World: Performance and the Politics of Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this passionate and controversial work, director and critic Rustom Bharucha presents the first major critique of intercultural theatre from a 'Third World' perspective. \u003cbr\u003e Bharucha questions the assumptions underlying the theatrical visions of some of the twentieth century's most prominent theatre practitioners and theorists, including Antonin Artaud, Jerzsy Grotowski, and Peter Brook. He contends that Indian theatre has been grossly mythologised and taken out of context by Western directors and critics. And he presents a detailed dramaturgical analysis of what he describes as an \u003cem\u003eintra\u003c\/em\u003ecultural theatre project, providing an alternative vision of the possibilities of true cultural pluralism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTheatre and the World\u003c\/em\u003e bravely challenges much of today's 'multicultural' theatre movement. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the creation or discussion of a truly non-Eurocentric world theatre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rustom Bharucha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415092159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415092159\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Rustom Bharucha","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136044019967,"sku":"9780415092159","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ce9f9e3-9e8c-47a9-b277-71d189179444.jpg?v=1770160136","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatre-and-the-world-rustom-bharucha-9780415092159","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
