From its very beginnings; theatre has been both an art and a public space; shared by actors and spectators. As a result; its entity and history is intimately tied to politics: a politics of inclusion and exclusion; of distributions and placements; of spatial appropriation and utopian concepts. This collection examines what is at stake when a theatrical space is created and when a performance takes place; it asks under what circumstances the topology of theatre becomes political. The book approaches this issue from various angles; taking theatre as a cultural paradigm for political dimensions of space in its respective historical context. Visiting the political dimensions of theatrical space in both theatre history and contemporary performance; the volume responds to the so-called spatial turn in cultural and historical studies; and questions a politics of aesthetics that is discussed in continental philosophy. The book visits different levels and linkages between aesthetic theory and geography; art and sociology; architecture and political theory; and geometry and history; shedding new light on theatre; politics; and space; thereby transforming this historically intertwined triad into a transdisciplinary theme.
