Theatre, Facilitation, and Nation Formation in the Balkans and Middle East PDF
by S. Kuftinec
Part of the Studies in International Performance series
Description
How might theatre intervene in violent inter-ethnic conflicts?
When does participatory theatre mediate more just futures, and when might it preserve inequities?
Theatre, Facilitation and Nation Formation addresses these questions through detailed case studies of community-based projects in the Balkans and Middle East that the author has witnessed or helped to create.
In Mostar, collaborative performance helps youth re-member a divided city.
In Berlin, participants from seven Balkan countries reorient understandings of citizenship through an interactive installation.
In Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, image theatre animates the limits of reconciliation.
These theatrical facilitations model ways that ethnic oppositions can move towards ethical relationships, while pointing out challenges in doing so.
As a travelogue, this study weaves critical analysis with the voices of participants, directors, and workshop leaders, offering viewpoints and field notes on how theatrical facilitation can (and can't) effectively transform conflicts.
