Fluid stages, morphing theatre spaces, ambulant spectators, and
occasionally disappearing performers: these are some of the key
ingredients of nomadic theatre. They are also theatre's response to
life in the 21st century, which is increasingly marked by the
mobility of people, information, technologies and services. While
examining how contemporary theatre exposes and queries this mobile
turn in society, Liesbeth Groot Nibbelink introduces the concept of
nomadic theatre as a vital tool for analyzing how movement and
mobility affect and implicate the theatre, how this makes way for
local operations and lived spaces, and how physical movements are
stepping stones for theorizing mobility at large. Now available in
paperback, this book focuses on ambulatory performances and
performative installations, asking how they stage movement and in
turn mobilize the stage. By analyzing the work of leading European
artists such as Rimini Protokoll, Dries Verhoeven, Ontroerend Goed,
and Signa, Nomadic Theatre demonstrates that mobile performances
radically rethink the conditions of the stage and alter our
understanding of spectatorship. Nomadic Theatre instigates
connections across disciplinary fields and feeds dramaturgical
analysis with insights derived from media theory, urban philosophy,
cartography, architecture, and game studies. It illustrates how
theatre, as a material form of thought, creatively and critically
engages with mobile existence both on the stage and in society.
