Joined Forces: Audience Participation in Theatre

The book presents various examples of audience participation in theatre linking them to problems of participation in democracy and to socially engaged art. It comprised of four interviews and ten essays, case studies, manifestos and anti‑manifestos by theatre makers, curators, critics, and scholars. Artists and researchers from different countries were asked to reflect on the idea of participation, to share their experiences and write about their successes and fails, hopes and doubts.
