KlappentextThis book theorizes auteur Robert Lepage´s scenography-based approach to adapting canonical texts. Lepage´s technique is defined here as scenographic dramaturgy´, a process and product that de-privileges dramatic text and relies instead on evocative, visual performance and intercultural collaboration to re-envision extant plays and operas. Following a detailed analysis of Lepage´s adaptive process and its place in the continuum of scenic writing and auteur theatre, this book features four case studies charting the role of Lepage´s scenographic dramaturgy in re- writing´ extant texts, including Shakespeare´s Tempest on Huron-Wendat territory, Stravinsky´s Nightingale in a twenty-seven ton pool, and Wagner´s Ring cycle via the infamous, sixteen-million-dollar Metropolitan Opera production. The final case study offers the first interrogation of Lepage´s twenty-first century auto-adaptations´ of his own seminal texts, The Dragons´ Trilogy and Needles & Opium. Though aimed at academic readers, this book will also appeal to practitioners given its focus on performance-making, adaptation and intercultural collaboration.
