Do contemporary theatrical experiences manage to be political? This is what this volume intends to explore, investigating forms, functions, conditions and ways in which the relationship between theatres and politics has developed over the last few decades at national and international level; questioning the diagnostic, participatory, controlling, identity-forming, social-cushioning, transformative, activist and other functions that the various arts and performance practices are putting into play; investigating subjects, relations, strategies, words and discourse, practices, effects and impacts. The use of the term theatres in the plural underlines the adoption of a methodological perspective that integrates the different manifestations of contemporary theatrical performance, including its representative, social and popular aspects.

Abstract

Do contemporary theatrical experiences manage to be political? This is what this volume intends to explore, investigating forms, functions, conditions and ways in which the relationship between theatres and politics has developed over the last few decades at national and international level; questioning the diagnostic, participatory, controlling, identity-forming, social-cushioning, transformative, activist and other functions that the various arts and performance practices are putting into play; investigating subjects, relations, strategies, words and discourse, practices, effects and impacts. The use of the term theatres in the plural underlines the adoption of a methodological perspective that integrates the different manifestations of contemporary theatrical performance, including its representative, social and popular aspects.
