| Summary: | Of cultural poetics, Stephen Greenblatt affirmed the reciprocal relationship of history and literature, each shaping our perception of the other. Applying this of dialectical framework to the correlation between Christian theology and theatre arts is a pragmatic starting point for exploring Performing the Sacred: Theology and Theatre in Dialogue, innovatively written by Todd E. Johnson and Dale Savidge. This thoroughly researched study puts theatrical praxis in dialogue with Christian theology. Surveying the work of theoreticians ranging from Artaud and Aristotle to Saint Augustine to Schillebeeckx, this text traces the origins and history of the chasm of mutual distrust and misunderstanding between the theatre and Christianity. |
