Marking the thirtieth anniversary of the revolutions of 1989, this original and wide-ranging study places the transformation of Eastern Europe in a global context, providing new perspectives on the relationship between globalisation and the collapse of communism in the late twentieth century, and the rise of populism in the twenty-first.
The book explores two international dance theatre productions, Mika HAKA and The Sound of Silence, created by Torotoro and Samudra. It delves into how these works, rooted in hereditary martial arts, blend cultural expressions and challenge traditional notions of gender, ethnicity, and race. By examining their performances for predominantly white audiences, the text highlights the productions' roles in shaping national and cultural identities while addressing the complexities of intercultural negotiations influenced by queer-feminist perspectives. It questions the implications of integrating martial arts within Western performance practices.
