The Condition of instability: performative turn and contemporary Lithuanian theatre
ENThe article discusses the new strategies of representation that emerged in contemporary Lithuanian theatre under the influence of socio-cultural transformations that can be attributed to the umbrella notion of “performative turn.” With the help of three case studies, the article investigates how certain codes of “aesthetics of performativity” as described by Erika Fischer Lichte are circulating in contemporary Lithuanian theatre, what processes and agencies facilitate their emergence, and what possibilities as well as challenges for performative practices they entail. Keywords: disability in theatre, documentary theatre, experience-based theatre, embodied life stories, Lithuanian theatre, performative turn, performativity, participatory performance.
