Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2020-2021.
Religious beliefs, practices, and conflicts shape our world and influence global politics. Yet mediatized depictions of religion can be reductive and polarizing. Moreover, these depictions may be different from what people experience in their everyday lives. In the contemporary theatre, we have the opportunity to consider representations of individuals' lived religion, the complex questions of belief, and challenges to faith from within and outside religious communities. Through close readings of plays and related materials engaging with Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and other faith traditions, we will explore and discuss together the religious motivations, tensions, and dilemmas facing us today. Our texts include, among others, Jesus Christ Superstar, Indecent, Angels in America, and Heroes of the Fourth Turning.
