Performing History: Theatrical Representations of the Past in

Description

Collective identities grow from a sense of the past, and the theatre very forcefully participates in the ongoing representations of and debates about the past, sometimes by contesting them and sometimes by reinforcing them. In his examination of the ways in which the theatre after World War II has presented different aspects of the French Revolution and the Holocaust, Freddie Rokem shows us that by “performing history” actors—as witnesses for the departed witnesses—bring the historical past and the theatrical present together.
