Hard-cover fully-illustrated publication documents the development and realization of this critically acclaimed production "A Short History of Crying" by Sanja Mitrovic which premiered on 25 November 2010 at the hetveem theatre, Amsterdam. "A Short History of Crying" is conceived as an investigation into the phenomenology of tears, touching upon themes of memory, emigration and death. In this work, and the accompanying publication, Sanja Mitrovic explores social and cultural mechanisms related to public display of emotions. The publication brings together a selection of materials collected during the working process, from research and rehearsals to newly commissioned essays, as well as the original script alongside photographic documentation of the performance itself.
