Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal explores how contemporary theater engages with and critiques concepts of truth, post-truth, and representation. Articles examine the use of post-truth techniques in performance, the role of theater in challenging historical narratives and power structures, and the institutional shifts in European theaters towards a "postrepresentational" framework. This includes analyzing how theaters grapple with decolonization, changing audience demographics, and the influence of digital media.
