The Politics of Performance

Abstract

The impact of Richard Schechner's provocative article, arriving at a time when audiences are becoming noticeably reflective about theatrical experience, seems all the more significant because it articulates the position of an avant-garde theatre that is becoming increasingly conscious of itself and its image. I don't agree with Schechner's assessment of the avantgarde from the perspective of decline and fall because there is more to this crisis than the life cycle he describes.
