Lepage’s technique is defined here as ‘scenographic dramaturgy’, a process and product that de-privileges dramatic text and relies instead on evocative, visual performance and intercultural collaboration to re-envision extant plays and operas. Following a detailed analysis of Lepage’s adaptive process and its place in the continuum of scenic writing and auteur theatre, this book features four case studies charting the role of Lepage’s scenographic dramaturgy in re-‘writing’ extant texts, including Shakespeare’s \u003ci\u003eTempest \u003c\/i\u003eon Huron-Wendat territory, Stravinsky’s \u003ci\u003eNightingale \u003c\/i\u003ein a twenty-seven ton pool, and Wagner’s \u003ci\u003eRing \u003c\/i\u003ecycle via the infamous, sixteen-million-dollar Metropolitan Opera production. The final case study offers the first interrogation of Lepage’s twenty-first century ‘auto-adaptations’ of his own seminal texts, \u003ci\u003eThe Dragons’ Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNeedles \u0026amp; Opium\u003c\/i\u003e. Though aimed at academic readers, this book will also appeal to practitioners given its focus on performance-making, adaptation and intercultural collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-07-20\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319733678\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-73368-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 199\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46547930513548,"sku":"9783319733678","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319733678.jpg?v=1772932931","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319733678","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
