内容简介

The volume examines the performance aesthetics of four major art movements--Expressionism, Futurism, Dadaism, and Constructivism. After outlining the origins and general characteristics of the historical avant-garde, this study offers detailed coverage of key performances undertaken by artists, usually outside the conventional theatre environment. Gunter Berghaus identifies paths and trajectories through a complex artistic terrain, often referred to as "Art Performances," and surveys trends and events that had a fundamental influence on the development of a modern theatre practice.
