How juxtaposition can be a political tool when composing a performance. It all started with the interspace between reality and fiction, the authentic and fictional self. The aesthetic field cannot present any given answers but rather a liminal space for reflection and thoughts. An in-between where multiplicity can grow and flourish. This is an exploration of both practice and theories in relation to gaps, cracks and in- betweens where art can flourish. This has also led to an exploration of the relation between spectators and performers and on if one can create a common and equal meeting ground within the boundaries of a performance.engliminalityparticipatory theatrecritical wedgeperformance arthuman specific theatreimmersivc theatree theatresensuous theatrepolitical theatreperformance artperformativitymultidisciplinary theatresoundscapespectatorsite-specific theatreperforming arttext immersionviewpoint trainingsocial theatreperformative artA CRITICAL WEDGEText
