Radical Street Performance: An International Anthology

This volume collates the writings by activists, directors, performers, critics, scholars and journalists who have documented street theatre around the world. The essays explore the forms these performances can take: agit-prop; invisible theatre; demonstrations and rallies; direct action; puppetry; parades and pageants; performance art; guerrilla theatre; and circuses. The essays look at performances in Europe, Africa, China, India and both the Americas. They describe engagement with issues as diverse as abortion, colonialism, the environment and homophobia.
