OBJECTIVES: to provide tools to face the study of European and extra-European theatrical cultures in an historical-comparative perspective. To this end, some theatrical experiences will be examined as “models” for the research of the different cultural matrices and of their technical junction points.

PROGRAM: After having traced a brief profile of the relationship between theatrical cultures of East and West, the course will examine some specific experiences, including those of the theater “di figura” between Asia and Europe.
