Collaborative Theatre is the first in-depth sourcebook on this unique theatrical troupe, providing English readers with first- hand accounts giving rare insights into the development of its creative processes, collectivist practices and driving passions. Collaborative Theatre presents critical and historical essays by theatre scholars from around the world as well as the writings of and interviews with members of the Théâtre du Soleil, past and present. The volume is divided into chapters on five key productions: 1789, L’Age d’Or, Richard II, L’Indiade and Les Atrides. These reveal the recurrent concerns and themes of the company, such as the ethics and politics of collaboration; the theatrical re-visioning of history; the training of performers; the role of a director in collective work.
