Opera in South-East Asia: theatre can be considered a global artistic practice and a central part of transnational networks of artistic exchange. The historiographical investigation of the emergence of theatre as a global phenomenon since 1860 is the ambitious goal of the research project Global Theatre Histories, headed by Prof. Dr. Christopher Balm end funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). This science cast playfully illuminates the project's agenda and methods, and highlights its collaborative and international work mode.
