DESCRIPTION:This presentation theorizes Sinophone independent theatre in m
 ainland China and Taiwan as a geo-literacy project that performatively res
 ists Eurocentric\, Sinocentric\, and anthropocentric epistemologies. Situa
 ting selected texts and performances by independent theatre troupes within
  the Inter-Asian people’s theatre movement\, Dr Jaguścik takes Rossella
  Ferrari’s (2020) formulation of 'transnational Chinese theatres' as a p
 oint of departure to examine whether – and how – contemporary Sinophon
 e independent theatre moves beyond trauma-centered frameworks to rehearse 
 future-oriented political imaginaries.  The presentation draws primarily o
 n unpublished performance scripts and personal exchanges with members of A
 ssignment Theatre (差事劇團) and Against Again Troupe (再据劇團) i
 n Taipei\, as well as Fire Tent Theatre Troupe (北京流火帐篷剧社) 
 in Beijing. \n\nJustyna Jaguścik is Senior Lecturer in Chinese Language\,
  Culture and History at the University of Bern\, Switzerland. She is the c
 o-editor of Lyrical Experiments in Sinophone Verse: Time\, Space\, Bodies\
 , and Things (2025) and Re-Thinking Literary China: Essays in Honor of And
 rea Riemenschnitter (De Gruyter\, 2025). Her main research interests inclu
 de contemporary Sinophone poetry (particularly by women writers)\, transme
 diality in Sinophone poetry\, and cultural activism.\n\nSpeakers:\nDr Just
 yna Jaguścik (University of Bern)
