For whom does the actor perform? To answer this foundational question of the actor’s art, Grotowski scholar Kris Salata explores acting as a self-revelatory action, introduces Grotowski’s concept of ‘carnal prayer,’ and develops an interdisciplinary theory of acting and spectating. Acting after Grotowski: Theatre’s Carnal Prayer attempts to overcome the religious/secular binary by treating ‘prayer’ as a pre-religious, originary deed, and ultimately situates theatre along with ritual in their shared territory of play.Grounded in theatre practice, Salata’s narrative moves through postmodern philosophy, critical theory, theatre, performance, ritual, and religious studies, concluding that the fundamental structure of prayer, which underpins the actor’s deed, can be found in any self-revelatory creative act.Product details Simultaneous Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (April 6, 2020) Publication Date: April 6, 2020
