Conference organized by the ERC projects T-MIGRANTS (LMU Munich) and DYBBUK (TAU), 23rd-25th November 2025 in Munich
Space is a fundamental concept in human experience, shaping our environments and how we orient ourselves within them. Traditionally viewed through the lens of geography, the “spatial turn” has brought space into focus across disciplines. As Kim Solga observes, the spatial turn “made issues of space and place central to the investigation of meaning-making in theatre, in staged or curated performances outside traditional spaces, and in everyday life” (Solga 2019, 14). This conference builds on this understanding to broaden the concept of space in light of crucial debates on globalization and migration. It aims to explore not only the aesthetic aspects of theatre and its spaces, but also their sociological dimensions. We will examine how theatre and migration reshape social and aesthetic spaces, asking: How have theatre migrants challenged, imagined, and redefined spaces? What historical transformations have emerged through these migrations?
We invite contributions that explore the production, negotiation, and imagination of space in migration processes from comparative, transnational, contemporary, or historical perspectives.
