520 |a "Theaters of Citizenship investigates the Egyptian movement for free theater, as it evolved from an avant-gardist movement to self-help culture and finally, a frame for street theater. Using historiography, ethnography, and performance analysis, the book follows this avant-garde from 2004-2014, analyzing its staging of rights claims, generational identity, and postrevolution citizenship. The book extends avant-gardist theater theory to consider the politics of performance across urban spaces. It approaches live performance as a means of both cultural and political representation and a theater of citizenship across socially critical, neoliberal, and revolutionary repertoires"--  |c Provided by publisher
