This book examines performative strategies that contest nationalist
prejudices in representing the conditions of refugees, the
stateless and the dispossessed. In the light of the European Union
failing to find a political solution to the current migration
crisis, it considers a variety of artistic works that have
challenged the deficiencies in governmental and transnational
practices, as well as innovative efforts by migrants and their
hosts to imagine and build a new future. It discusses a diverse
range of performative strategies, moving from a consideration of
recent adaptations of Greek tragedy, to performances employing
fictive identification, documentary dramas, immersive theatre,
over-identification and subversive identification, nomadism and
political activism. This study will appeal to those interested in
questions of statelessness, migration, and the problematic role of
the nation-state.
