Performance Research: Letters from Europe - Hardback

Europe is a continent in a state of rapid - and frequently unsettling, transition. In the past five years, a total of twelve new states have emerged in a continent in which only five countries can boast of having had stable borders for more than a hundred years. Accompanied by in-depth articles and interviews discussing European performance today, Letters From Europe uses the framing device of the letter - letters from theatre makers, artists and critics - to present an intensive, up-to-date survey of the performance forms of the new Europe and their relationship with the past.
