- This book brings performance theory into contact with the economic rationale of neoliberalism, and highlights a number of unfamiliar theatre events, to show how the hegemonic status of dominant ideologies is performative and to show how such ideologies can be resisted through performance. It will be of interest to those working in field of contemporary theatre and performance, but its political focus means it is likely to have far wider reach. This book uses a sophisticated critical matrix, combining performance theory, close textual reading, and insights from critical discourses on race, society, economics, democracy, postcolonial critique, and liberal political economy.
