| Abstract | "How do contemporary theatre and performance appear to be possessed by the queer past? This book explores how the queer past is invoked via strategies of channeling and haunting, working through and working out, recollection and replay, commodification and reproduction, occupation and commemoration, intermedial recontextualization and dissemination. It focuses on an eclectic range of case studies including Artangel, Dickie Beau, Jeremy O. Harris, Karen Finley, Milo Rau, Rachel Mars, Split Britches and Travis Alabanza, and practices that encompass digital theatre, experimental performance, installation, live art and site-specific interventions"-- Provided by publisher. |
