Second part of the conference Recycling in the performing arts: from creativity to commerce to be held online on 20th November 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In general terms, recycling is the process of converting waste into reusable material. The metaphor of recycling, however, may be applied to the performing arts in multiple contexts. Indeed, recycling may be seen as an essential aesthetic quality of theatre and performing arts in general. Despite the assumed replication of a performance from one evening to the next, the recycled cultural product is continuously supplemented, embedding a paradoxical spark of the \u201cnew\u201d alongside the \u201crecycled.\u201d In this respect, performance may be said to be forever regenerating itself.<\/p>\n

From a historical perspective, there is inherent recycling as genres and styles developed. Classical Greek tragedies recycled the myths of their culture. The Romans later recycled both Greek tragedies and comedies. Works of the Italian Renaissance and French classicism followed this trajectory. Even William Shakespeare was a master of recycling different materials: histories of England, medieval legends, Greek myths, etc.\u00a0With focus moving to the director since the late 19th century, each new interpretation of classic work has involved the recycling of narratives.\u00a0In the context of our conference, we seek to emphasize contemporary practices with regard to the notion of \u201crecycling\u201d in theatre and the performing arts.<\/p>\n

Three main paradigms that the conference will explore:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Artistic Approach:<\/strong>\u00a0Contemporary theatre has inherited a good deal from the postmodern theatre of the 1970s and 1980s. Even \u201cpostdramatic\u201d theatre is influenced by postmodern theatre, as in its use of collage, montage, intertextual connections, intercultural references, and pop-culture quotations (for which the contemporary German directorial school is famous, for example). Even with playwriting we are witnessing a practice of \u201crewriting\u201d old stories that are repurposed in new social contexts, commenting on traditional narratives and using well-known archetypes. Does theatre today live in an \u201ceternal postmodern time\u201d? Is the notion of\u00a0newness\u00a0<\/em>lost forever? What are the artistic values of this kind of recycling, on the one hand, and the challenges\/limitations on the other?<\/li>\n
  2. The Culture Industry:<\/strong>\u00a0Recycling may also be linked to the demands of commerce. Theatre makers have notably reused theatrical and non-theatrical material, such as adaptations of famous novels with easily recognizable heroes, transcripts of popular films, historical events, biographies of well-known figures for the sake of commercial exploitation. Can contemporary theatre resist the temptation of endlessly recycling well-known elements? And should it? Festival culture and the market for international co-productions seek \u201cbig names\u201d that inspire certain \u201ctypes\u201d of performances, which then travel the globe. What are the compulsions and drawbacks that emerge in such scenarios? How do festivals deliberately or inadvertently dictate work that is produced and shown? Money is necessary and can be useful, but what is the fallout when the performing arts are singularly driven by the demands of capital and the market?<\/li>\n
  3. A Theatre of Ecology:\u00a0<\/strong>Last but not least is the idea of recycling in its most generic context. As our planet grows warmer, can the performing arts contribute to reducing their carbon footprint? What types of experiments are possible in productions that are environmentally conscious and stripped of excess? What versions of a \u201cpoor theatre\u201d exist? How can the performing arts be equally resonant when less can be more?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Idea-expression dichotomy is a concept of copyright law that limits the scope of copyright protection to the expression of an idea rather to the idea itself.
