In this sense theatre is, of all the arts, the one strictly homologous to politics: both theatre and politics depend on a limited set of texts or statements, collectively enacted by a group of actors or militants, which put a limit on the excessive power of the state. This explains why the history of theatre has always been inseparable from a history of state repression and censorship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis definitive collection includes not only Badiou's pamphlet \u003ci\u003eRhapsody for the Theatre\u003c\/i\u003e but also essays on Jean-Paul Sartre, on the political destiny of contemporary theatre, and on Badiou's own work as a playwright, as author of the Ahmed Tetralogy.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45413021450391,"sku":"9781781681251","price":1984.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781781681251.webp?v=1767444600","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/rhapsody-for-the-theatre-9781781681251","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
