| Summary: | Richard Foreman has been writing, directing and designing avantgarde theater in New York since he first founded his Ontological-Hysteric company there in 1968. In all that time, few directors have taken up the challenge of staging his problematic, rewarding texts and Foreman's work remains underexplored by other practitioners. This book argues that Foreman can productively be viewed as a (partly) European artist, whose thinking and theater-making have been radically shaped by contact with Europe. Contains the full text of Foreman's previously unpublished play Georges Bataille's bathrobe (1983). |
