ABSTRACT
The idea behind this postscript to the collection has been to encourage researchers into theatrical praxis involving early material to look beyond reconstructive production as a tool to inform understanding of the original material, and to consider how present-day European theatre at the cutting edge can be and is inspired to create new and original work by drawing on medieval materials. Further, just as the preceding chapters in this volume have repeatedly called to attention the fundamentally “multi-media” nature of performance in the period before the professional playhouse, the artist featured in the following interview is a musician who uses the human body, voice, movement and setting to generate meaning, and to tell stories, in a number of fluid ways that go beyond the simple understanding of “play”.
