"In this book, Lehmann coins and elaborates the term 'postdramatic theatre' to name a brand of theatrical experimentation that resists cathartic narrative, that deconstructs canonical texts, that replaces dramatic characters with sculptural figures, that moves outside of a proscenium space, and that approaches politics from a post-Brechtian stance that re-imagines rather than rejects the signature forms of the culture industry."
