Summary/Abstract: Already from the beginning of the last century, but especially in the decades following the Second World War, the notion of theatrical performance in European theatre studies has expanded greatly to include theatrical events that did not take place in the building of an institutional formal theatre, the sharp boundary that previously separated the spectator from the performers has disappeared, and contributed to the illusion that the spectator is not present, as the hierarchy of text-director-actor has begun to break down. This broadening of the conceptual scope of theatrical performance, however, also threatens to render the concept meaningless.
