- Summary
- Physicists have discovered that the vast majority of the universe's mass is constituted by what remains transparent. So far, this mysterious 'dark matter' can only be traced by its gravitational effects on visible matter. Taking up this analogy, theatre scholar Andrew Sofer outlines a fresh theoretical framework and critical vocabulary for examining the invisible and how it continually structures and focuses an audience's theatrical experience.
