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.
