Theatre in Canada has long been a forum for cultural communities to celebrate their traditions, but it has now emerged as a forum for staging stories that stretch beyond local and national communities. This book onsiders the new demand this global shift is placing on theatre's narratives and strategies and asks: how might theatre more meaningfully and ethically stage strangers? Combining archival research and performance analysis to discuss a set of performances mainly in Toronto, Staging Strangers offers a fresh look how theatre can be an important site of cultural encounter in a global age. Because the examples are mainly drawn from Toronto, the book is also a study of how cultural difference is realized in an emblematic 'global city.' The book adopts the guiding metaphor of 'the stranger' to discuss the many ways cultural difference is made to appear-or disappear-onstage. Equally, the book considers the many ways the stranger on stage may be fetishized or domesticated, marked for assimilation, or made an object of fear. It argues that a theatre that only valorizes individual, cultural 'self-realization' and concretizes cultural difference may at times also erect barriers to meaningful ethical engagement with strangers. More than a descriptive text about a shift toward the global, the book offers a vision of theatre that contributes meaningfully to global ethics, that is, a sense of ethical responsibility to global issues and distant strangers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Theater and globalization $z Canada. 650 0 $a Theater and internationalism $z Canada. 650 0 $a Multiculturalism in the theater $z Canada. 650 0 $a Theater and society $z Canada. 650 0 $a Intercultural communication in the performing arts $z Canada. 650 0 $a Race in the theater $z Canada. 650 0 $a Ethnicity in the theater. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2004007742 650 0 $a Theater $z Canada $x History $y 21st century. 650 7 $a Ethnicity in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202244 650 7 $a Intercultural communication in the performing arts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01738176 650 7 $a Multiculturalism in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01894666 650 7 $a Race in the theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744919 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Theater and globalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01745966 650 7 $a Theater and internationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01922231 650 7 $a Theater and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149315 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 1 $a Freeman, Barry, 1977-, author. $t Staging strangers. $w (CaOONL)20169068447 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180131061612.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DB04521A065511E8AD8CF06897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
