Abstract Through specific examples, case studies and essays, this collection of essays looks at theatre practices across Europe. From "Theatre du Soleil" to "SocA-etas Raffaello Sanzio", it reconsiders the possibilities of theatre practice, its relation to history and location, and its place in Europe at the turn of the twenty-first century.
