Product Details
How do nationalized stereotypes inform the reception and content of the migrant comedians work? How do performers adapt? What gets lost (and found) in translation? Border-Crossing and Comedy at the Thtre Italien, 1716-1723 explores these questions in an early modern context. When a troupe of commedia dellarte actors were invited by the French crown to establish a theatre in Paris, they found their transition was anything but easy. They had to learn a new language and adjust to French expectations and demands. This study presents their story as a dynamic model of coping with the challenges of migration, whereby the actors made their transnational identity a central focus of their comedy. Relating their work to popular twenty-first century comedians, this book also discusses the tools and ideas that contextualize the border-crossing comedians workincluding diplomacy, translation, improvisation, and parodyacross time.
