How did the concept of the avant-garde come into existence? How did it
impact on the performing arts? How did the avant-garde challenge the
artistic establishment and avoid the pull of commercial theatre,
gallery and concert-hall circuits? How did performance artists respond
to new technological developments? Placing key figures and
performances in their historical, social and aesthetic context,
Günter Berghaus offers an accessible introduction to post-war
avant-garde performance. Written in a clear, engaging style, and
supported by text boxes and illustrations throughout, this volume
explains the complex ideas behind avant-garde art and evocatively
brings to life the work of some of its most influential performance
artists. Covering hot topics such as multi-media and body art
performances, this text is essential reading for students of theatre
studies and performance.
