| dc.description.abstract | The following thesis examines the relationship between dance performance and Lebanese culture through AUB students and Caracalla dance troupe. By taking Caracalla as a case study, this research understands the notion of culture through two generations. On the methodological side, visual and sensory analysis is employed to understand Caracalla’s troupe, an online questionnaire is used to comprehend AUB students’ opinions. This study explores the manifestations of Lebanese culture and folklore within Caracalla’s performances in relation to theories of performativity and cultural studies. Through this framework, the analysis critically engages with the understanding of culture in today’s Lebanon. |
