Details | This paper is an attempt to offer a tentative theoretical framework for the discussion of the fabric of traditional theatre -- what it is made of -- and a possible approach that it will permit in our times. Part One tries to explain the structure of two-act fantasy noh play with an example of a piece called Izutsu attributed to Motokiyo Zeami. This section is entitled "memories evoked to be revoked." The model proposed in Part One will be used as a metaphorical springboard to consider the fabric of traditional theatre itself, and on the way the paper will discuss three points in the following order: Part Two: cultural identity as a construct retrospectively formed; Part Three: intercultural transactions and cultural ownership, and finally Part Four: traditional theatre as an "other" within us. - See more at: http://www.criticalstages.org/criticalstages7/ |
