Sobre IBD

With its impressive variety of theater, Finland is a superpower of performing arts. Finnish theater, however, is presently a hotbed of cultural debate regarding the artistic quality of its performances. This comprehensive overview of contemporary theater explores many of the most contentious questions concerning applied theater, its devised methods, and the corresponding challenges presented to traditional definitions of theater and related arts. Through interviews with new writers and directors, and first-hand accounts of recent performances, this study attempts to define what it means today to say 'Finnish theater.' It also addresses issues concerning Finland’s emergence as a cultural player within the European Union and implications for its evolving national identity.

  • Staging Nationalism
    Kiki Gounaridou
