Spaces Redrawn by Theatre Passage Festival: Dialogue of Urban and Theatrical Spaces

Summary/Abstract: Dissolution of physically defined borders between stage and public in theatre performances conceived in public spaces extends and challenges our perception, understanding and analytical approach on real and imaginary spaces; and also the interplay, overlapping and dialogue of them. Public sites become theatre venues in which the viewer is not invited but rather involved. Through some examples taken from the 2013 edition of the international Passage festival (Helingør-Helsingborg) this article tackles with the permanently changing amoeba-alike performance space and the possible and in many ways unanticipated inclusion of the public. Function, notion and perception of public space and theatrical space now become de- and reterritorized, theatre performance is conceived as an act of insertion, intervention and inclusion in the same time.
