Jean Genet: Performance and Politics cover

This is the first book to explore the broad political significance of Genet's performance practice by focusing on his radical experiments, polemical subjects and formal innovations in theatre, film and dance. Its new approach brings together the diverse aspects of Genet's work through essays by international scholars and interviews.

'This volume will be seen as a major landmark and intervention in the field. It will update and revivify Genet studies and draw attention to his ubiquitous presence across numerous art forms and discourses in the Anglo-Saxon world.' - Professor David Walker, University of Sheffield, UK
