Theatermachine: Tadeusz Kantor in Context is an in-depth, multidisciplinary compendium of essays that examine Kantor's work through the prism of postmemory and trauma theory and in relation to Polish literature, Jewish culture, and Yiddish theater as well as the Japanese, German, French, Polish, and American avant-garde. Hans-Thies Lehmann's theory of postdramatic theater and contemporary developments in critical theory--particularly Bill Brown's thing theory, Bruno Latour's actor network theory, and posthumanism--provide a previously unavailable vocabulary for discussion of Kantor's theater.
