Bryant-Bertail models performance criticism as a creative, political act, and has inspired me to do the same. Space and Time in Epic Theater narrates the flow of culturally specific notions of space and time, from pre-Socratic gestures toward materialism, through Brechtian time–space and its legacies. Individual chapters then use semiotics to communicate the presence and impact of Brecht’s call to empower audiences to take action to right societal wrongs.
