This small sample of recent articles reflects the variety and richness of research that TRI authors have brought to the journal. Covering a range of geo-political and cultural contexts, we have placed articles from different issues together in new editorial constellations.

Articles in the cluster Performing Memory and History explore complex historiographies of the uprooted victims of history in the performances of Palestinian Khashabi theatre in Haifa (Yerushalmi), analyse testimonial stage inscriptions, as means of speaking about the national conflict and violence in Colombia (Aschner-Restreop), and adaptations of Armenian dramatists on the Turkish stage as a way of addressing the memory of the Armenian Genocide (Yildirim). 

Performance Spaces take us via the rainforest of Queensland to various Australian theatrical and non-theatrical venues to explore human relations with its co-existing nonhuman other (Varney); to the Forensic Architecture’s exhibition in London and to the Schauspiel Köln, investigating a xenophobic murder, to test art institutions’  anti-hegemonic claims (Marschall and Simke); and to the streets of New Delhi, transformed into ‘worksites of democracy’ through the work of the political theatre troupe Janam (Gosh). 

A range of forms are investigated in the Performing Gender cluster: from queer adaptations of Romeo and Juliet in Saul (Im) and embodied feminist memories against the backdrop of the Troubles in the work of Belfast-based choreographer and dancer Oona Doherty (Hill), to walking performances of the disoriented queer migrant body in Western Europe (Calder).  Different cultural, geographical, and methodological perspectives emerge in this curatorial exercise as a network of endless possibilities of alternative constellations and cross-textual dialogues.
