Abstract

This study focuses on the issue of identity in the actor-audience relationship within the category of environmental theatre. Environmental theatre shows a situation in which actors and audiences have no clear boundaries of distance. Actors and audience no longer exist only on and off stage in the theatre, the actor-audience relationship created by architectural sites is broken down. I will take an environmental theatre play staged at the Aranya Theatre Festival in China in June 2021 as a case study to illustrate what is broken in the actor-audience relationship and what identities are reconstructed, as well as the continuity and limitations of the play.
