The Invisible City explores urban spaces from the perspective of a
traveller, writer, and creator of theatre to illuminate how cities
offer travellers and residents theatrical visions while also
remaining mostly invisible, beyond the limits of attention. The
book explores the city as both stage and content in three parts.
Firstly, it follows in pattern Italo Calvino's novel Invisible
Cities, wherein Marco Polo describes cities to the Mongol emperor
Kublai Khan, to produce a constellation of vignettes recalling
individual cities through travel writing and engagement with
artworks. Secondly, Gillette traces the Teatro Potlach group and
its ongoing immersive, site-specific performance project Invisible
Cities, which has staged performances in dozens of cities across
Europe and the Americas. The final part of the book offers useful
exercises for artists and travellers interested in researching
their own invisible cities. Written for practitioners, travellers,
students, and thinkers interested in the city as site and source of
performance, The Invisible City mixes travelogue with criticism and
cleverly combines philosophical meditations with theatrical
pedagogy.
