When it comes to Canadian studies, one can wonder whether researchers are not participating in the nation-brand competition. These studies were designed to project the image of a nation under construction. However, the points of view on Canada play a major role in the circulation of narrative spaces. From the perspective of the Baltic and Nordic countries, Canada remains a country of the shared North, and the aim of this book is to describe the contours of a transnordic narrative, highlighting texts, images and cultural objects specific to this biocultural region.

What can artists learn from theatre scholars when it comes to performing historical works on stage today? What can theatre scholars learn from today’s artists when it comes to understanding the works and practices of the past? How is the experience of modern spectators affected by attending performances in historic theatres? And how, aesthetically, do we experience the reconstruction of productions from the remote past?
The essays in this anthology try to answer these questions by initiating a dialogue between academic and artistic research. They reflect a desire to develop and expand the methods traditionally used by theatre historians, presenting a variety of angles on today’s performances in historic theatres and on today’s attempts to revive theatrical practices of the past.
