Book Synopsis
A certain idea of the avant-garde posits the possibility of a total rupture with the past. The Unfinished Art of Theater pulls back on this futuristic impulse by showing how theatre became a key site for artists on the semi-periphery of capitalism to reconfigure the role of the aesthetic between 1917 and 1934.
