What remains of theatre when representation no longer guarantees a world, and presence no longer guarantees truth? Anders Paulin approaches post-mimetic theatre as a medium whose specificity emerges through its impurity. Between bodies, language, duration and shared attention, theatre produces situations irreducible to images, information or communication. Rather than asking spectators to decode a message, it allows meaning to remain provisional and unfinished. In a world of competing realities, the stage becomes a site where fiction and actuality coexist without hierarchy. Theatre emerges as speculative material, opening other relations to time, perception and collective life.

Interpretation: Kim Shinu

Anders Paulin is a Swedish theatre director, dramaturg and writer whose work questions what theatre is and what it might become. Moving between directing, artistic research and self-organised practices, he approaches theatre less as representation than as a space for encounters, listening and speculation, where text, bodies and images can generate realities rather than reproduce those already known.
