MargSummary: This essay examines select contemporary theatre practices that ensue productively from and exist in a complex relationship with state policies. They function outside, even despite, established paradigms of theatre production in terms of spaces of performance, modes of spectatorship and what constitutes “theatre” and “work” in the theatre. The writer explores the relationship these practices generate between audiences and performers. She argues that each of these case studies employs, as a signifying practice, a “politics of location” that moves away from hegemonic modes of cultural production, focusing rather on local knowledge and favouring situatedness of knowledge production in theatre.
