Presents an up-to-date, contextualized account of the global reach and impact of the 'festivalization' of culture. It analyses festivals as sites of intercultural negotiation and exchange and reveals their role in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Arab world, Europe and the Americas.
The global rise of festival culture and experience has taken over that which used to merely be events. The Cambridge Companion to International Theatre Festivals provides an up-to-date, contextualized account of the worldwide reach and impact of the ''festivalization'' of culture. It introduces new methodologies for the study of the global network of theatre production using digital humanities, raises questions about how alternative origin stories might impact the study of festivals, investigates the festivalized production of space in the world''s ''Festival Cities'', and re-examines the social role and cultural work of twenty-first-century theatre, performance, and multi-arts festivals. With chapters on festivals in Africa, Asia, Australia, the Arab world, the francophone world, Europe, North America, and Latin America it analyses festivals as sites of intercultural negotiation and exchange.
