Postcolonial Opera: William Kentridge and the Unbounded Work of Art
Pistorius, Juliana M. (Marie Sklodowska Curie Global Research Fellow, Marie Sklodowska Curie Global Research Fellow, University College London; University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa)
Postcolonial Opera examines the social and political role of opera in the postcolony. Taking the multimedia operatic experiments of William Kentridge, South Africa's most celebrated contemporary visual artist, as a starting point, author Juliana M. Pistorius investigates contemporary opera's potential to process the troubled histories that haunt post- and decolonial societies.
