The theme of the conference of the International Federation for Theatre Research in Stockholm in June 2016 was ‘Presenting the Theatrical Past: Interplays of Artefacts, Discourses and Practices’. As part of the conference, the research group ‘Performing Premodernity’ organised a panel debate about performance paradigms, and about how different approaches and practices represent different ways of ‘realising’ cultural heritage. A group of theatre scholars and theatre practitioners were invited to talk about the challenges and potentials of performing in historic theatres.
