From its very beginnings, theatre has been both an art and a public
space, shared by actors and spectators. As a result, its entity and
history is intimately tied to politics: a politics of inclusion and
exclusion, of distributions and placements, of spatial
appropriation and utopian concepts. This collection examines what
is at stake when a theatrical space is created and when a
performance takes place; it asks under what circumstances the
topology of theatre becomes political. The book approaches this
issue from various angles, taking theatre as a cultural paradigm
for political dimensions of space in its respective historical
context. Visiting the political dimensions of theatrical space in
both theatre history and contemporary performance, the volume
responds to the so-called spatial turn in cultural and historical
studies, and questions a politics of aesthetics that is discussed
in continental philosophy. The book visits different levels and
linkages between aesthetic theory and geography, art and sociology,
architecture and political theory, and geometry and history,
shedding new light on theatre, politics, and space, thereby
transforming this historically intertwined triad into a
transdisciplinary theme.
