Instructor(s): Savianna Stanescu
Eurotics proposes an interdisciplinary approach to exploring contemporary European drama & performance by inter-connecting aesthetic, political, historical and geographical issues. The course will acquaint students with some of the cutting-edge European performers’ and writers’ artistic re/actions to life, the world and history, while giving students the opportunity to investigate their own responses to the same topics: war, death, madness, ethnic/racial/class/gender/sexual discrimination etc. Works by Sarah Kane, Mark Ravenhill, Heiner Muller, Botho Strauss, Marius von Mayenburg, Roland Schimmelpfennig, Yasmina Reza, Orlan, Vaclav Havel, Biljana Srbljanovic, and Milica Tomic, are among those to be studied.
