Sobre IBD

What is the secret DNA of theatre? What makes it unique? Why was it invented? Why does it persist? In an age when many studies are concerned with the ’how’ of theatre, this work returns us to theatre’s essential ’why’. The Secret Life of Theatre suggests that by reframing the question, we can re-enchant this ever-vital medium of expression.
