Description
Europe is a continent in transition. In the past five years twelve new states have emerged in a continent in which only five countries have had stable borders for more than a hundred years. Letters from Europe will explore Europe’s performance forms, the relationship of old and new, the minority theatres of Europe and the place of dissident theatres in Europe now through the framing device of the letter – letters from theatre makers, artists and critics will accompany in-depth articles and interviews on European performance today.
