Description: Between Jerusalem and Athens by Nurit Yaari Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This first in-depth study of the reception of ancient Greek drama in Israeli theatre over the last 70 years offers ground-breaking analysis of a wide range of translations, adaptations, and new writing, and how performances of these works were created and staged at key points in the development of Israeli culture. Publisher Description How does a theatrical tradition emerge in the fields of dramatic writing and artistic performance? How can a culture in which theatre played no part in the past create a theatrical tradition in the modern world? How do political and social conditions affect the encounter between cultures, and what role do they play in creating a theatre with a distinctive identity? This volume attempts to answer these and other questions in the first in-depth study of the receptionof ancient Greek drama in Israeli theatre over the last 70 years. Exploring how engagement with classical culture has shaped the evolution of Israels theatrical identity, it draws on both dramatic andaesthetic issues - from mise en scène to post dramatic performance - and offers ground-breaking analysis of a wide range of translations and adaptations of Greek drama, as well as new writing inspired by Greek antiquity. The detailed discussion of how the performances of these works were created and staged at key points in the development of Israeli culture not only sheds new light on the reception of ancient Greek drama in an important theatrical and cultural context, butalso offers a new and illuminating perspective on artistic responses to the fateful political, social, and cultural events in Israels recent history.
