DAH Theatre

DAH Theatre: A Sourcebook is both a contemporary history of the role this performance group has played throughout the dissolution of Yugoslavia up to the present and an inside look into the nuts and bolts of Eugenio Barba's notion of "Anthropological Theatre," told in surprisingly practical terms. It should be of interest to a wide range of academics, from cultural anthropologists to historians who specialize in eastern Europe, as well as to teachers in the field of performance studies.
