Contents Theater and funeral -- Theater for the dead -- Theater of the dead -- Theater, body, and passage
Summary Assembling recent archaeological evidence and previously overlooked historical sources, Jeehee Hong explores new elements in the cultural and religious lives of middle-period Chinese. Rather than treat theatrical tomb images as visual documents of early theatre, she calls attention to two largely ignored and interlinked aspects: their complex visual forms and their symbolic roles in the mortuary context in which they were created and used
