rhizomatic theatre

Rhizomatic theatre is an approach that views a theatrical experience as a non-linear, interconnected web rather than a fixed, hierarchical structure. Inspired by the concept of a rhizome—an underground plant stem that spreads in multiple directions—it emphasizes collaboration, fluidity, and multiple entry points for audience engagement. This method encourages improvisation and collective creation, allowing the performance to evolve dynamically rather than follow a scripted sequence. It reflects the idea that meaning and understanding emerge from the connections and interactions within the performance, similar to how a rhizome expands unpredictably in various directions.
