Book, Dictionary of Contemporary Theatre Performance[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. In the form of entries, the book gathers all the known contemporary movements and experiences related to the art of staging and performance. One observes with some naturalness the changes that have taken place in the contemporary world, but the real challenge is to contextualize them and interpret their impacts in various fields.. According to Pavis, one of the most expressive names in theatre criticism, the nature of theatre and its conception have been undergoing changes of such formal impact that we have difficulties in naming it and tend towards uncertainty when studying it.. The crisis in scenic identity is the real object of study of this new dictionary, which does not aim at the delineation of theoretical concepts and notions, but rather at the presentation of the general situation of the performing arts and the so-called UPOI, Unidentified Performative Objects.
