This book examines the ways in which theatre traditions have been transformed in the 21st century, and how these transformations have impacted the way we think about and experience theatre. The contributors to this volume come from a variety of disciplines, including theatre studies, performance studies, anthropology, and sociology, and they offer a wide range of perspectives on the topic.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part, "Traditions in Transformation," explores the ways in which traditional theatre forms have been adapted and reinterpreted in the contemporary world. The second part, "Transformations in Tradition," examines the ways in which new technologies and performance practices have influenced the way we create and experience theatre. The third part, "Traditions and Transformations in Dialogue," brings together scholars from different disciplines to discuss the implications of these transformations for the future of theatre.

This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of theatre. It offers a unique and comprehensive look at the ways in which theatre traditions are being transformed in the 21st century, and it provides valuable insights into the implications of these transformations for the future of the art form.
