Sound is born and dies with action. In this surprising; resourceful study; Mladen Ovadija makes a case for the centrality of sound as an integral element of contemporary theatre. He argues that sound in theatre inevitably "betrays" the dramatic text; and that sound is performance.Until recently; theatrical sound has largely been regarded as supplemental to the dramatic plot. Now; however; sound is the subject of renewed interest in theatrical discourse. Dramaturgy of sound; Ovadija argues; reads and writes a theatrical idiom based on two inseparable; intertwined strands - the gestural; corporeal power of the performers voice and the structural value of stage sound. His extensive research in experimental performance and his examination of the pioneering work by Futurists; Dadaists; and Expressionists enable Ovadija to create a powerful study of autonomous sound as an essential element in the creation of synesthetic theatre.Dramaturgy of Sound in the Avant-garde and Postdramatic Theatre presents a cogent argument about a continuous tradition in experimental theatre running from early modernist to contemporary works.
