This CFP invites the international community of scholars and artists to contribute essays to a book that will focus on live performance about living in exile or created by artists living in exile through critically engaged documentation of exile theatre artists or companies and their practices, with specific reference to their produced work. The type of work to be addressed includes, but is not limited to:<br>
<br>
• creation and presentation of performances that reflect the artist’s or artist collective’s expectation and experience in a new country following forced displacement,<br>
• the blending of new and established performance work into original mashups that address the cultural clash between country of origin and country of residence,<br>
• radical adaptations of plays from an established canon from the point of view of the exiled artist/s,<br>
• live performance focusing on exile that blurs the boundaries between territorial genres, including but not exclusive to theatre, dance, opera.<br>
<br>
Essays should document, analyze, and interrogate specific productions and performances and the contexts that inspired them (which may include--but are not exclusive to--political, religious, spiritual, economic, social, and cultural).<br>
<br>
Essays might consider address the following topics:<br>
<br>
• what is exile theatre?<br>
• belonging and otherness<br>
• xenophobia<br>
• refugee versus exile as a state of being<br>
• borders, boundaries, and territoriality<br>
• freedom versus independence<br>
• audience identity: the impact of exilic theatre within community, and for a general public<br>
• generational concerns and issues within exilic communities: does the narrative change?<br>
• performance as a site of resolution.<br>
• identification of home through the performance of narratives of exile, displacement, refuge, shelter, engagement, and rootedness<br>
•memorializing or idealizing home or homeland<br>
• re-imagining home through the filters of distance and time<br>
• home versus homeland<br>
