Beschreibungen/Notizen

• 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 the manifold ways in which movement and mobility effect and implicate the theatre, how physical movements in the theatre are stepping stones for theorizing mobility at large, and how contemporary performance uses movement and mobility to make way for local operations and lived spaces. This book examines how ambulatory performances and performative installations stage movement and in turn mobilize the stage.
