Workshop : Comparative dramaturgy: methods and challenges. Belgian and Japanese perspectives

...challenging established narratives on theatre history and contemporary performing arts which often take the context of the nation-state for granted or, the other way around, reduce the complexity of transcultural hybridization to postmodern globalization.

The aim of this first workshop is to identify possible shared frameworks and references through well-defined research cases – European or Japanese – taken from a specific historiographic context. The framework on the workshop is focused on exchange and discussion. The organizers will provide synthetic translation Japanese – English (in both directions) when required.
