Abstract

The article discusses the ways in which the Parisian avant-garde stage ensemble Théâtre du Soleil reflects and critiques its intercultural theatre practice. Topics cited include how its experimentation with Japanese Bunraku aesthetics facilitates ideological critique in their play "Drums on the Dam," the significance of the ties between political activism, social awareness, and creative practice to the group's foundation, and the International Association for the Rights of Artists.
