Jelinek questions contemporary society's obsession with fitness and body image and rejects the romanticized notion of sport as portrayed in today's media. She considers sport as a mass phenomenon and as a medium for chauvinism and fanaticism--sport as war. At the same time this is one of Jelinek's most personal plays in which she styles herself as "Elfie Electra" and mixes anger with self-irony. Blurring the boundaries between a theatre event and a sports event, this performance turns Jelinek's linguistic gymnastics into an Olympic feat for the actors and audiences alike. 650 0 $a Sports $x Sociological aspects $v Drama. 650 0 $a Athletes $v Drama. 700 1 $a Black, Penny $c (Translator) 830 0 $a Oberon modern plays. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171227052215.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20160518010750.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EC3B59A152711E3AA706A77DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
