Georges Banu on the Lost Presence in Theatre
In a 1991 article for artpress, critic Georges Banu examines the fate of proximity-based performing arts—theatre, dance, and opera—and their complicit relationships. Through observation of various performances, he argues that presence in theatre has lost its taste for the excessive. In France, theatre rejects romanticism, and it is dance that takes over that role.
