Description
"Theater in Society, Society in Theater" is both a detailed and imaginative reconstruction of the history of a Philippine village, the barrio of Valladolid in Carcar, southern Cebu. Though the history ranges from the 1500s to 1940, the focus is trained on a time of increased peasantization, the late nineteenth century and the first four decades of the present century. In tracing the history of the village, the author analyzes transformations in its moral order as revealed in the external and internal changes of the village theater tradition, the tradition of the linambay, or komedya. - from Amzon
