About this ebook
The Art of Assembly surveys theatre today to demonstrate its political potential in both form and content. Drawing on numerous examples from around the world in performance, visual art, and activist art, curator and author Florian Malzacher examines works that draw on the particular possibilities of theatre to navigate the space between representation and participation, at once playfully and with sincerity.
In a time of wide-ranging crisis, The Art of Assembly is a plea for a strong definition of the political and for a theatre that is not content merely to reflect the world's ills, but instead acts to change them.
A knowledgeable foray through the landscape of political theatre. die tageszeitung (taz)
A very good overview of current postdramatic events, bringing together a great deal of empirical material. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)
Rarely have the pitfalls of representation as the cornerstone of theatre been explained so elegantly. Berliner Zeitung
A stimulating book that brings you up to date with the latest discursive thinking without overwhelming you with theory. An ideal side effect. profil
Malzacher's analysis is clever, enjoyable and accessible even for the theory-shy. A briefing on the state of the discourse and a declaration of love for theatre. Die Wochenzeitung (WOZ)
