Synopsis

This book discusses spaces of performance from formal opera houses to parks and graffiti around the world and is a companion to "Theatre in Passing: A Moscow Photo-Diary." Drawing once again on Michel de Certeau s notion of a second poetic geography, this new volume examines prominent theatrical destinations New York, London, and Paris along with others that are often overlooked, including Canada, Mexico, and Turkey. In addition to indoor theaters, the book covers a variety of outdoor theatrical spaces, as well as street theater. Like its predecessor, "Theatre in Passing 2 "is richly illustrated with photographs by the author and provides fascinating insights on the intersection of performing arts, visual culture, and photography.
