ABSTRACT

This article discusses how directing and choreographing can be an open mise-en-scène in perspective of a risky auteurship in recycling theatre. It states that the play with a new mimesis is inherent in an autonomous work of stage art, transgressing the borders between the aesthetics as experimenting with the means of production. Three theses are proclaimed, one that directing is a risky form of theatre by virtue of the way it recontextualises textual material, a second indicating that the performative material is reconstituting identities in inter-action with nature, and a third that says that dramaturgy is an inter-play with participation and interaction.
