Description

Beyond Failure examines the critical role of failure in theatrical practice and performance studies, exploring how the inherent risk of not succeeding shapes contemporary theatre and human cultural activity. This Routledge collection brings together essays that interrogate failure as a key theoretical concept, moving beyond traditional success-focused narratives to reveal what theatrical mishaps and performance breakdowns can teach us about artistic practice, social interaction, and cultural meaning-making. The volume engages with contemporary scholarship on the poetics of failure, offering fresh perspectives on how performers, artists, and audiences understand risk, vulnerability, and creative expression on stage. Ideal for theatre scholars, performance studies students, and anyone interested in the philosophical dimensions of artistic practice and cultural history.

Addresses the inherent connection between human action and its potential to fail, applying this to theatrical practice and social activity.
