What is theatre of images and who are its major practitioners?
What will be an ideal response?
Theatre of images is a nonliterary visual dramatic text conceived as a series of visual images incorporating mixed media and grand spectacle. Stage pictures, video, film, slides, and even lights are part of the dramatic text and are privileged over the written word, narrative plot, and developed character. Robert Wilson, for example, is a director who begins each of his works with a visual idea. In his theatre, actors are manipulated as visual elements. In composer and director Heiner Goebbels's work, dazzling stage pictures are juxtaposed with a global array of music and poetry.
