Focusing on performance projects in disaster and war zones, this book argues for prioritizing joy, beauty, and celebration in community-based performance practices. It advocates for a shift in Applied Theatre from merely assessing effects to embracing an affective role, emphasizing sensations of pleasure as a vital component. Through this lens, it seeks to redefine the purpose and impact of participatory performances in challenging contexts.
