RESULTS: Theatre has never been, nor could it ever become a subject independent of architecture. Correspondingly, the stage space is not, and should not be a separate issue, the subject of "consultants", but a crucial and equally worthy part of the complex, rich and consistent structure of the theatre house as a whole. The theatre house in its entirety becomes a public facility and begins to develop its central function in the city. From this point of view, it is not only that the theatre has not lost its traditionally dominant urban position, on the contrary, that position is constantly evolving.

Modern Architecture in Theatre, Introduction

Book Introduction: Architecture and theater have long been allied in creating the characteristic events of the city. In the 1920s Parisian architect Edouard Autant explored the art of architectural design through a series of modern theatrical performances presented by Art et Action, a company he formed with actress Louise Lara. Together, they merged British director Edward Gordon Craig’s strategies for spatial set design with an approach to performance emphasizing multi-sensual simultaneity. In five types of modern theater, they created spaces and performances that anticipate the architecture and actions of an ideal, modern city. https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9781137368676

Performativity of Theatre Architecture
Mehmet Kerem Özel, MEHMET KEREM ÖZEL
Due to the increasing interest in performance as a design paradigm in the last 25 years, the term " performative architecture " can be defined very broadly within an expansive context from technology (structure, thermal energy, acoustics, etc.) to cultural theory, from socioeconomic to environmental issues. This paper will try to make a synthesis between spatial performance and spatial performativity in order to use this synthesis as the critical framework for its analysis. Judith Butlers's notion of performativity has entered into the vocabulary of architecture to explore the interrelation between subjectivity and place and has been used to think through how subjectivity is enacted in place and how place itself is enacted in the process of performance. On the other hand, performative architecture has a capacity to respond to changing social, cultural and technological conditions by perpetually reformatting itself as an index of emerging cultural patterns. In performative architecture, space unfolds in indeterminate ways, in contrast to the fixity of predetermined, programmed actions, events and effects. In this sense this paper aims to reread and reinterpret some examples of the 20 th century theatre architecture in light of performance and performativity in order to answer the question: Can any black box theatre be called as an example of performative architecture?

About Theatricality (in Architecture)
1990 •
Bart Verschaffel
Based on a summary reading of the history of Baroque festival and theatre culture, this unpublished translation of an essay in Dutch from 1990, defines 'theatricality' as an architectural category. 'Theatricality', together with the category of 'monumentality', characterises the aesthetic dimension of public space. Theatre is not about fiction, and not primarily about making spectacles and plays, it is about a non-religious, and not moralizing, secular transfiguration of the common and the ordinary. Theatricality does not lie, it does not point to a utopian goal, but creates architecture and possibilities for a - playfully - dignified and intensified reality, that can enrich things and animates lives, make them 'worth seeing', without giving them a purpose or a meaning.
