Abstract
This essay begins with a statement that, to paraphrase Giorgio Agamben in Infancy and History, every conception of theatre (mental/physical, imaginary/ real, produced/producing, material/social, immediate/mediated, and so on) is invariably accompanied by a certain experience of space (mental/physical, imaginary/real, produced/producing, material/social, immediate/mediated, and so on) that is implicit in it and that conditions it? To continue this thought, since theatre is first and foremost a particular experience of space, no new theatre should be possible without taking into account this particular experience of layered spatiality. In its assumption, as I wish to suggest, this statement is much closer to Henri Lefebvre's production of space, wherein power relations are embedded, than to Gaston Bachelard's poetics of space reflecting the impact of human psyche and imagination on a geometrical form.
