Jerome Bel's Disabled Theater - a dance piece that features a company of professional disabled actors - has polarized audiences worldwide. Some have celebrated the performance as an outstanding exploration of representation; others have criticized it as a contemporary freak show. From the impassioned critical reception, it is clear that the piece raises important questions about the role of people with cognitive disabilities within both society and the conventions of theater and dance. Using Disabled Theater as the basis of a broad, interdisciplinary discussion of performance and disability, this volume explores the intersections of politics and aesthetics, inclusion and exclusion, and identity and empowerment. Can the stage serve as a place of emancipation for people with disabilities? To what extent are performers with disabilities able to challenge and subvert the rules of society? What would a performance look like without an ideology of ability? These and other questions are explored by a stellar group of contributors, including Andre Lepecki, Yvonne Schmidt, Gerald Siegmund, Marcus Steinweg, Kai van Eikels, and Scott Wallin.

"From its very beginnings, theatre has been both an art and a public space, shared by actors and spectators. As a result, its entity and history is intimately tied to politics: a politics of inclusion and exclusion, of distributions and placements, of spatial appropriation and utopian concepts. This collection examines what is at stake when a theatrical space is created and when a performance takes place; it asks under what circumstances the topology of theatre becomes political. The book approaches this issue from various angles, taking theatre as a cultural paradigm for political dimensions of space in its respective historical context. Visiting the political dimensions of theatrical space in both theatre history and contemporary performance, the volume responds to the so-called spatial turn in cultural and historical studies, and questions a politics of aesthetics that is discussed in continental philosophy. The book visits different levels and linkages between aesthetic theory and geography, art and sociology, architecture and political theory, and geometry and history, shedding new light on theatre, politics, and space, thereby transforming this historically intertwined triad into a transdisciplinary theme"-- "From its very beginnings, theatre has been both an art and a public space, shared by actors and spectators.

Ästhetische Erfahrungsräume sind als Zwischenräume zu begreifen, die sowohl Aspekte des realen als auch des gedachten Raums aufweisen. Die Entgrenzung der Künste hat im 20. Jahrhundert dazu geführt, dass oftmals unterschiedliche Raumkonzepte innerhalb derselben künstlerischen Arbeit aufeinandertreffen. Welche Eigenschaften und Potenziale sich hieraus ergeben, ist die Frage, welcher der Band nachgeht. Die Beiträge erörtern Raumerfahrungen zwischen An- und Abwesenheit, Selbst- und Weltbezug, zwischen sinnlichem Erleben und gedanklicher Reflexion, zwischen Immersion und Distanzierung. Damit sind sie Ausdruck einer Komplexität, die nicht nur das Verhältnis der Künste untereinander, sondern auch die soziale Lebenswelt auszeichnet, auf die sich die künstlerische Arbeit heutzutage bezieht.
