This essay addresses the issue of theatre as a tool for development and social change. I have chosen to frame this discourse in a site which is, at the same time, geographically limited (a microcosmic Tibet) and psychologically liminal (exilic community), in order to discuss the feasibility and potential sustainability to create theatre for social change and development in a community which is, on one side, spatially displaced by China‘s colonialist regime and, on the other, temporally fossilized by the New Age fantasies of the West.

Abstract
This essay addresses the issue of theatre as a tool for development and social change. I have chosen to frame this discourse in a site which is, at the same time, geographically limited (a microcosmic Tibet) and psychologically liminal (exilic community), in order to discuss the feasibility and potential sustainability to create theatre for social change and development in a community which is, on one side, spatially displaced by China‘s colonialist regime and, on the other, temporally fossilized by the New Age fantasies of the West.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
