In Place of a Show is a compelling account of Western theatre
buildings in the 21st century: theatres stripped of their primary
purpose, lying empty, preserved as museums, or demolished.
Playfully combining first-person narratives, scholarly research and
visual documents, Augusto Corrieri explores the material and
imaginative potentials of these places, charting interconnections
between humans, birds, vegetation, and the beguiling animations of
inanimate things, such as walls, curtains and seats. Across four
chapters we learn of the uncanny dismantling and reconstitution of
a German Baroque auditorium during the Second World War; the
phantasmal remains of a demolished music hall in London's East End;
a Renaissance Italian theatre, fleetingly transformed into an
aviary by the appearance of a swallow; and a lavish opera house
emerging from the Amazon rainforest. In these pages we are invited
to discover theatres as sites of anomalous encounters and
surprising coincidences: places that might reveal the performative
entanglement of human and nonhuman worlds.
