Alternatives théâtrales

Alternatives théâtrales is a Belgian illustrated performing-arts journal (revue des arts de la scène) headquartered in Liège with offices in Brussels. It is dedicated to the presentation, study and analysis of the performing arts in their multiple dimensions: dramatic writing, repertoire, staging, scenography and choreography. The journal contributes to building a memory of contemporary Belgian, European and world theatre. Three issues are published each year, each devoted to a specific theme. The first issue appeared in July 1979. Recent issues have covered topics such as the figure of the child on stage (issue 153, 'À la mort à la vie — la figure de l'enfant au théâtre'), young audiences, Argentine contemporary theatre, philosophy on stage, diversity on European stages, and Iranian theatre. The journal is a reference publication for theatre professionals, scholars and students, and is indexed by Ent'revues and Mir@bel.
