Download or read book Brandon s Guide to Theater in Asia written by James R. Brandon and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From India to Japan, the theater of Asia spreads out like a brilliant kaleidoscope. There are dance-dramas, ballets, masked pantomimes, operas, operettas, shadow-plays, puppet-plays, and more. You will see not only actors and actresses, but elegant and exquisitely costumed court dancers, musicians, singers, and chanters. You will hear songs and heroic narratives and flights of poetic dialogue. Drums will thud and gongs will boom. Everywhere you go, the colors, sights, and sounds will vary enormously from place to place. But it is not easy to discover where theaters are, what types of plays are being staged, or the hours, days, and seasons of performance. The purpose of this Guide is to help the traveler in Asia find and enjoy exciting living theater. The author's personal experience and knowledge of theater in Asia will be an indispensable resource to the traveler who cares about theater, but knows little about Asia. Brandon describes and evaluates the many theatrical forms, itemizing in detail the festival or theater seasons and locations and types of theater buildings. The Guide also lists theater street addresses, phone numbers, best route to the theater, hours and days of performances, best and worst seats in the house, and times and places to buy tickets. Noted also is whether the theatergoer should bring a blanket, a folding chair, or a snack—or plan on a gourmet dinner in any one of several restaurants in a deluxe theater complex. Approximate prices (in each local currency) are given for tickets, taxis, meals, programs, etc. For each country there is a list of relevant books to read before, or upon, arrival; for each city there is a list of local newspapers, theater guides, and other sources of information.

Book excerpt: Willis Knapp Jones, a noted translator and specialist in Latin-American theatre, has chosen these three comedies as examples of the flowering of truly national theatre in Paraguay, Chile, and Argentina: The Fate of Chipi' González, by José Maria Rivarola Matto; Man of the Century, by Miguel Frank; and The Quack Doctor, by Camilo Darthés and Carlos Damel. As the title under which the three plays are collected suggests, the plays reflect a unique if irreverent combination of fact and fantasy. Yet, as the reader will perceive, underlying this fantasy and love of the quixotic are themes of intrinsic universal appeal, the mark of creative genius in any language. The Fate of Chipí González, set in rural Paraguay, pits the Angel Saul and the devil mom in a struggle for the soul of Chipí, an illiterate football champion. But Chipí escapes them all--the football team, the devil, and the angel. Man of the Century features fast-moving, hilarious situations created by Angel XM26 when he is sent to check up on a middle-class Chilean family in preparation for the Last Judgement. Angel XM26, clad in wings of waterproof nylon designed by Dior, proves unequal to his task, and all Heaven and Hell ring with the problems thus created. The Quack Doctor, a simple and delightful comedy, explores the folkways in an Argentine village, where a woman doctor, unable to win acceptance in a society which refuses to approve of a woman trained as a physician, meets her patients at their own superstitious level. A Contemporary Latin American Classics series book, edited by J. Cary Davis, Professor of Spanish at Southern Illinois University.
