European borders, multicultural liminal spaces, and artistic resistance. How Sibiu International Theatre Festival exemplifies a European heterotopic worksite for democracy

Summary/Abstract: From the concept of what a border is and how central a multicultural border country is to the creation of a stronger European identity, the article explores how Sibiu International Theatre Festival, being a temporary liminal artistic space at the border between who belongs to the European Union and who does not, occurring in a region composed by multiple cultural, religious and ethnic identities, takes up the roles of a heterotopia and a worksite for democracy, creating a community of people of diverse backgrounds dealing with common transversal socio-political issues by establishing debates through the performances presented in their editions.
