In France, deindustrialising communities have called upon street theatre companies to convert derelict factories into cultural centres, re-animate urban space, commemorate industrial heritage, and even generate jobs. This book explores how contemporary French street theatre transforms industrial space into postindustrial space.This original, interdisciplinary analysis reveals how theatre participates in, and makes historical sense of, urban and economic change. How have companies converted spaces of manufacturing into spaces of theatrical production, and to what end? How do these companies, along with municipal governments and developers, connect their work to the kind of work that occurred in these spaces in the past? How do those connections manifest in theatrical events, and how do such events give shape and meaning to ongoing redevelopment projects?
