Under the title ‘Practices: Strategies and Tactics,’ they were organised in conjunction with the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen as public-facing conversations between November 2022 and November 2024.
Each encounter follows the same format – 14 questions that have been printed on the book cover, which serve as a flexible framework for discussion. Through careful editing by Giulia Casartelli, Daniel Cordova and Livia Andrea Piazza, these interchanges have been transformed into lively, multi-voiced texts. They invite further reflection and spark further dialogue beyond the original live encounters.
At the event, Xavier Le Roy will once again engage in conversation with some of the practitioners featured in the book and provide insights into the publication.
Additional information
The publication is supported by the Justus Liebig University Giessen and the Association Le Kwatt.
