Product Description

Structured around modes in which one might encounter Asianthemed performances and adaptations Shakespeare and East Asia identifies four themes that distinguish post1950s East Asian cinemas and theatres from works in other parts of the world Japanese formalistic innovations in sound and spectacle reparative adaptations from China Taiwan and Hong Kong the politics of gender and reception of films and touring productions in South Korea and the UK and multilingual diaspora works in Singapore and the UK. These adaptations break new ground in sound and spectacle they serve as a vehicle for artistic and political remediation or in some cases the critique of the myth of reparative interpretations of literature they provide a forum where diasporic artists and audiences can grapple with contemporary issues and through international circulation they are reshaping debates about the relationship between East Asia and Europe. Bringing film and theatre studies together this book sheds new light on the two major genres in a comparative context and reveals deep structural and narratological connections among Asian and Anglophone performances. These adaptations are products of metacinematic and metatheatrical operations contestations among genres for primacy or experimentations with features of both film and theatre.
