Abstract

Drawing on the recent UK-based theatre project Migrations: Harbour Europe, the chapter examines migrant theatre initiatives that practice resistance, political responsiveness and solidarity while resisting established narratives and fostering new aesthetics of migration and refugeedom. Migrations: Harbour Europe project was developed by the migrant theatre collective Legal Aliens Theatre in collaboration with Migrant Dramaturgies Network. Musca argues that Migrations: Harbour Europe functions as a site for public discourse, positioning migrant identities and experiences firmly in the socio-political realm and advocating a rethinking of contemporary societies as migration societies in which asylum-seeking and refugeedom are structural issues rather than temporary ‘crises’.
