The musical is a complex, multifaceted genre that has been produced by a diverse group of filmmakers and in countries far and wide for nearly 100 years. In this talk, Professor Garcia will explore the rich history of the musical, why the genre is both beloved and hated, and what it teaches us about performance as a mode of human expression in societies past and present.
