An enormously exciting, beautifully written and very moving work. The Paper Canoe comprises a fascinating dialogue with such masters of theatre as Stanislavski, Meyerhold, Craig, Copeau, Brecht, Artand and Decroux.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Barba's writing and ideas... aleternate between arrogance and forced modesty, platitudes and obvious truisms, clarity of vision and obtuseness bordering on an almost unfathomable ambiguity..
–Choice Barba's The Paper Canoe...is a passionate professional auto- biography...What emerges beyond the tenets of theatre anthropology is an aesthetic grounded in a lifetime of research.
