Trevor Żahra – Bejn Storja u Miti
edited by Sergio Grech
published by Horizons, 2020
This well-sized, well-printed and generously illustrated volume is one of a series planned by Horizons. The subjects are Maltese authors who are of quality and also widely esteemed. Trevor Żahra is an author who easily fits both these characteristics.
He has written and still writes successfully for children, young adults and adults, works of fiction – novels, short stories, little children’s books – poetry and works for the theatre, and works of non-fiction, the most important of which are his autobiographical and moving Stella, Jien u Hu and Il-Ġenn li jżommni f’sikkti.
World Political Theatre and Performance: Theories, Histories, Practices is the second collection of essays to emerge from the Political Performances Working Group at the International Federation for Theatre Research. Bringing together scholars and practitioners from multiple locations, the book analyses a range of examples â historical and contemporary â of counter-hegemonic theatre and performance. Part 1 offers a diachronic view of the relationship between activism and performance; Part 2 focuses on the changing nature of what constitutes âpolitical theatreâ today. Case studies from Finland to India and from Chile to China are framed by section introductions that underline both commonalities and tensions, while the general introduction reflects on what a radical practice can look like in the face of global neoliberalism.
