Abstract

This essay analyses the crucial role of audiences in the collective processes of ascribing meaning to theatre performances with an interest in the "real". Focusing on recent performances by Version 1.0 in Australia and Rimini Protokoll in Germany, it illustrates how the making of collective memory and processes of collectively ascribing authenticity can be interpreted as simultaneously influenced by transcultural artistic developments and by locally shaped audience expectations which respond to a specific cultural place and time.
