What is the theatre of the real? -- W.B. Yeats: the missed steps of Salome's daughters -- Beckett: the missing link -- Stephen Sondheim's "many possibilities": theater of the manifest |
| Summary |
"This book traces the thread of jouissance (the simultaneous experience of radical pleasure and pain) through three major theatre figures of the twentieth century. Gina Masucci MacKenzie's work engages theatrical text and performance in dialogue with the Lacanian Real, so as to re-envision modern theatre as the cultural site where author, actor, and audience come into direct contact with personal and collective traumas. By showing how a transgressively free subject may be formed through theatrical experience, MacKenzie concludes that modern theatre can liberate the individual from the socially constructed self."--Jacket |
