| Synopsis: |
This new study explores the history of cross-cultural performative encounters in the Pacific from the Eighteenth century to the present. It examines Western theatrical representations of Pacific cultures and investigates how Pacific Islanders used their own cultural performances to negotiate the colonial situation. The material investigated ranges from early travel accounts to contemporary plays, from Eighteenth century pantomimes and opera to Broadway plays and musicals; Nineteenth-century ethnographic spectacles and colonial ceremonies rub shoulders with contemporary tourist theme parks and avant-garde performance. |
