In this collection the author focuses on several contemporary Romanian female playwrights with residencies in Europe and the U.S.: Alexandra Badea Carmen-Francesca Banciu Alexa Băcanu Ana Sorina Corneanu Mihaela Drăgan Dr. Cătălina Florina Florescu Dr. Mihaela Michailov Dr. Domnica Rădulescu Saviana Stănescu and Dr. Elise Wilk. In their bold works written by female playwrights who are academics activists and performers we are invited to discover variations in the modus operandi of the dramatic language itself from metaphorical to matter-of-fact approaches. Furthermore while all these playwrights speak Romanian they also think and operate in various other languages such as Romani German French Italian and American English. This book facilitates scholars and students to discover contemporary issues related to Romanian society as presented heavily from a feminine angle and to reveal intersectional issues as seen and applied to dramatic characters in a post-communist country from some authors who experienced communism firsthand. The book is also an invitation to reinvent how we teach dramatic literature by offering 20 interactive exploratory activities. |Female Playwrights and Applied Intersectionality in Romanian Theater | Theatre and Performance
