Lourdes Orozco

Theatre & Animals

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lourdes Orozco considers different representations of animals in performance; suggesting that all animals have the ability to make us question the human, and its relationship to the other. She examines ways in which animals challenge theatre's ability to make meaning, and considers the surrounding ethical, political and social issues.
