Dramaturgies in the Afterlife of Violence: Transnational Theater between Global South and North
The afterlife of the unequally shared transnational history of violence affects with great urgency the performative arts, which are increasingly shaped by positions from the so-called Global South. Based on the assumption that this historicity is reflected in bodies, relations and institutions, the close connection of historical-political situation with aesthetics and conditions of production (forms of working and infrastructures) will be investigated. The aim of the junior research group is to develop a comprehensive theory and analysis of transnational theater between the Global South and the North based on three subprojects with case studies, as well as to explore the specific role of performative art from the Global South in the apparatus/dispositiv of global transnational “contemporary theater”.
