Abstract
Abstract In 2021, the International Festival of Street Theatre in Aurillac, France, was cancelled for the second consecutive summer. Amidst the ensuing furore, street theatre artists and their advocates risked conflating public health measures with the oppressive policies of the security state. This essay critically examines the underlying assumptions at work in these arguments and insists on the importance of public health to the defence of public space.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Theatre Review (CTR) analyses what is most passionate and vital in theatre today. It encompasses a wide variety of theatres, from new playwrights and devisors to theatres of movement, image and other forms of physical expression, from new acting methods to music theatre and multi-media production work. Recognising the plurality of contemporary performance practices, it encourages contributions on physical theatre, opera, dance, design and the increasingly blurred boundaries between the physical and the visual arts.
