[1]His most recent publication on the subject is ‘Teatro dei Luoghi. Lo Spettacolo Generato dalla Realtà’, with a preface by Raimondo Guarino, Artdigiland, Dublin 2015. The book, the result of a long elaboration, gives a reflection that has unfolded over at least a fifteen-year period, documenting the importance that the moment of conceptualization and theory play in the author’s artistic practice. This book follows by a few years the beautiful volume dedicated by Crisafulli himself to another theme that is particularly dear to him: the light in the theatre: cf. Id., Luce attiva. QuestionidellaLuce nelTeatro Contemporaneo, Titivillus, Pisa 2007.
[2]Thus, referring to Mike Pearson, Site-Specific Performance, Palgrave McMillan, Basingstoke 2010, he observes how the definition “site-specific performance” is too generic and fails in precisely defining phenomena. This is also demonstrated by the proliferation, in recent years, in international studies on the relationship between theatre and place, of a number of other definitions that attempt to identify more than the site-specific wording, “making appear from time to time, before the terms theatre or performance, adjectives such as site-conditioned, site-determined, site-referenced, site-conscious, site-responsive, site-sensitive, context-specific, site-based, site-dominant, site-adjusted, site-sympathetic, site-generic and many more”(Fabrizio Crisafulli, Il teatro dei luoghi…, cit., p. 71).
