Inte rsecting with the main conference topic of Carnival Ekstasis | Subversion | Metamorphosis\, for our meeting during the 2025 IFTR World Congress\, th e Theatre &\; Architecture Working Group will explore what it means to (re)claim and design spaces for public celebrations\, as well as engage wi th performative actions and unplanned performances of revelry and resistan ce that shape experiences of urban\, suburban and rural environments in wa ys they were not designed or intended for.

The topic "Performi ng Carnival" ranges from planned festivals to \; the carnival of every day life\, encouraging us to consider the spatial politics of performing c arnival on the local and global stage.
