About this book
This book compiles lectures by the world's leading practitioners of postdramatic theatre from East Asia and the German-speaking world, which were given at Asia's only dramaturgy degree program at The Central Academy of Drama in Beijing 2018/19. It includes first-time English-language scripts of the discussed plays. The material is complemented by contextualizing essays by the program founder Li Yinan and its co-developer Kai Tuchmann. Hans-Thies Lehmann contributes the foreword to this volume. This rare compilation enables the reader to gain a unique insider's impression of postdramatic theatre's artistic thinking and working methods and informs about its manifold manifestations.
With contributions from Hans-Werner Kroesinger, Lee Kyung-Sung, Li Yinan, Boris Nikitin, Kai Tuchmann, Wang Mengfan, Wen Hui, Zhao Chuan and Zhuang Jiayun.
Reviews
»This volume is [ …] understood [best] as the presentation of an ongoing process in which Chinese and other Asian artists and theorists try to articulate their practices through European, mainly German, concepts. Tuchmann, as an avid observer and keen advocate, offers his dramaturgical interpretation of a process that is still rapidly unfolding and reshaping itself. The value of this volume lies in its reciprocal resonance ‒ not as an ultimate verdict where exchange ceases but as a starting point where future conversations ensue.«
