Details | There are questions about international cultural events in general: What is the point of cross-cultural encounters and hoped-for realization and recognition? Is the programme that touts internationality expected to be a showcase of one's "own" culture to the world (outbound)? Or is it more about introducing foreign art to the domestic audience (inbound)? Can we really lay a claim on any "national" cultural ownership? For instance, what's the whole point of showing something and saying, "Hey, it's OUR culture"? Moreover, since any sense of cultural identity requires recognition by others, international theatre festivals need to strike the right balance between the internationally recognisable and the recognisably different. |
