Overview
The Death and Resurrection Show is a groundbreaking exploration of the origins and enduring power of performance. Rogan P. Taylor traces the cultural journey of the shaman, the first “superstar,” and examines how these ancient figures evolved into the artists and entertainers of today.
Blending anthropology, cultural history, and mythology, Taylor uncovers the connections between ritual, religion, and the human need for transcendence. From tribal ceremonies to modern concerts, the book offers a compelling narrative about the performer’s role in society as both healer and provocateur, exploring such themes as:
- The history of performance and ritual
- Shamanism and its cultural evolution
- The intersection of magic, spirituality, and art
- The transformative power of the performer
