Issue 9
This issue reveals the theatrical, performative and grotesque aspects of human culture.
The subjects explored are ethnic totems and rituals, the birth of ancient Greek theater, and the enthusiasm for the 1980s Los Angeles hair metal scene...
As the words of Theatrum Mundi (Theatre Nation) suggest, "The world is a theater, and all living things, including humans, are actors," this is a magnificent book that allows you to experience the theatrical spectacle with your own eyes.
