De-Colonizing Theater in Eastern Europe and Russia

Catalog description

In "De-Colonizing Theater," we will uncover fertile interactions among the innovative, rebellious drama and theater practices of central-eastern European countries and Russia as they have co-inhabited mobile territories and histories (1824-2024). Texts and their modern performances (filmed or video) will be available to be read and viewed in the original languages (Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, Yiddish, Czech, Lithuanian), and of course in translation. Mixed lecture/seminar format, with two presentations and one paper.
