Site-specific theater

Site-specific theater is a form of performance that takes place in a specific location, chosen for its relevance or relationship to the play's themes. Unlike traditional theater, which is performed on a stage, this style immerses the audience in a unique environment, utilizing the location's characteristics to enhance the storytelling. The setting becomes an integral part of the experience, often influencing how the audience perceives the narrative. Site-specific performances may happen in outdoor spaces, abandoned buildings, or other unconventional venues, creating a more engaging and interactive connection between the audience, performers, and the space.
