Embodied Memory: The Theatre of George TaboriUniversity of Iowa Press, 1999 - 346 pages Making use of invaluable archival material, Feinberg's biographical account is followed by a study of Tabori's experimental theatre work. As did prominent avant-gardists such as Grotowski or Chaikin, Tabori sought to open up new vistas in an otherwise mainstream theatre system. Feinberg pays special attention to Tabori's theatrical innovations, most movingly found in his Holocaust plays. There Feinberg shows the ways in which Tabori's theatre becomes a locus of remembrance ("Gedachtnisort") and of unique, engaging memory-work ("Erinnerungsarbeit"). |
