520 In the late sixties in Canada, the emerging alternative
theatre adapted dramaturgical models, many of them from
the international countercultural movement of the period,
which served as means of challenging the primacy of the
playwright and of creating a new decentralized iconography
of the Canadian people. In the process of doing so,
however, this theatre left many colonialist practices
unexamined, and effectively succeeded in disseminating
nationalist or centralizing mythologies of utopian
populism. Thus, the suppressive effects of colonialism
were ironically prolonged as the new nationalist theatre
continued to produce marginalizing effects. This study
reframes critical perspectives on contemporary theatrical
values and practices in Canada by revisiting the ways in
which colonialist representation inscribed subordination
and marginality in the first place
520 Since 1980, there has been a significant subversion and
effacement of nationalist ideology by the very groups
which had been suppressed by the universalizations of
populism. In addition, the adoption by many practitioners
of decentred, postmodern textuality combined with
experimentation in interdisciplinary techniques has
created performance modes more adaptable to cultural
reality. In Canadian theatre of the nineties, it has
become common practice to historicize unitary narratives
of culture and self-identity and to construct, instead,
intercultural texts which acknowledge the co-presence of
universality and difference, and which assist in drawing
spectators with diverse cultural expectations into
communal experience
