Joerg Esleben has gathered together many of Bennewitz\u0026amp;#x2019; own writings, most published for the first time, in which he reflects on his production of plays by Bertolt Brecht, Shakespeare, Goethe, Chekhov, and Volker Braun. By translating these writings into English, the editors have provided unprecedented access to Bennewitz\u0026amp;#x2019; thinking about intercultural work in India.  This material is illuminated by explanatory annotations, contextualized commentary, and critical perspectives from Bennewitz\u0026amp;#x2019;s former colleagues in India and other leading scholars. Through its kaleidoscope of perspectives, \u003ci\u003eFritz Bennewitz in India\u003c\/i\u003e offers a significant counter to dominant models of Western theatrical interculturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIllustrations \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Fritz Bennewitz on his Work in India\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The 1970s – Brechtian Experiments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: The Early 1980s – Firsts, Lows, and Highs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Mid-1980s – Brecht and the Bard in Bhopal \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Late 1980s and Early 1990s – Gaining a Village, Losing a Country\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Perspectives on Fritz Bennewitz in India\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Perspectives from Bennewitz\u0026amp;#x2019;s Partners in India\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Essays on Bennewitz in India\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChronology of Bennewitz\u0026amp;#x2019;s stays and projects in South Asia and his Indian projects in Germany\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary of Theatre Terms, Institutions, and Cultural References\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595448054040,"sku":"9781487500382","price":43.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/fritz-bennewitz-in-india-intercultural-theatre-with-brecht-and-shakespeare-hardback-9781487500382","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
