The Staging of the Turk: The Turk in the Danish Theatre of the Eighteenth Century

Bent Holm

Abstract

An analytical and contextualized presentation of the figure of the Turk on the Danish stage in the 18. century with a specific focus on the interaction between the actual commercial and military circumstances on the one hand and the performative representations on the other hand. How far did the staged image reflect the actual circumstances and how far was it an internal self-reflection?
