Despite eye-opening discoveries, exhibitions, and performances, many valuable artifacts and documents of the performing arts continue to linger in oblivion. How do these sources affect our understanding and appreciation of the theatrical past? Which challenges and opportunities arise from their reuse in modern contexts inside and outside museums?
Theatrical Heritage addresses these and related issues from a broad perspective. In accessible essays written by theater and music scholars, performers, directors, conservators, and administrators from Europe and the United States, new methods are advanced to reactivate the theatrical past.
