Abstract

In today’s political landscape, few tensions feel more urgent than the one between migration and nationalism. On one side are the human stories of displacement: individuals forced to leave behind homes, identities, and nations. On the other are the entrenched structures of power—borders, laws, ideologies—that seek to contain, deny, or erase these stories. This special issue of the European Journal of Theatre and Performance (EJTP) takes this conflict as its point of departure, asking: How are migrants, exiles, and stateless individuals being represented, governed, and resisted today? And what role can theatre and performance play in responding to this global crisis?
