We are pleased to invite you to come discuss a groundbreaking study on the vital role of baroque theater in shaping modernist philosophy, literature, and performance.
In Baroque Modernity, Joseph Cermatori argues that the memory of seventeenth-century baroque stages helped produce new forms of theater, space, and experience around the turn of the twentieth century. In response, modern theater helped give rise to the development of the baroque as a modern philosophical idea.
