This article explores the ongoing fascination with Foucault's brief and rather sketchy idea of heterotopia. Drawing out some key lessons from the most sustained interpretations of this curious spatio‐temporal concept, it addresses weaknesses and potential contradictions and goes on to highlight trends and emerging themes in studies that incorporate the notion. The article argues that although the uses of Foucault's accounts of heterotopia are bewilderingly diverse, heterotopias are most productively understood in the context of Foucault's insistence on ‘making difference’ and their adoption as a tool of analysis to illuminate the multifaceted features of cultural and social spaces and to invent new ones.

“…Critics have tended to figure the relationship between performance and place in site-specific work in three main ways: as heterotopic, dialogic, or palimpsestic (with its corollary, the spectral -more than most people, performance scholars see a lot of ghosts). When framing the relationship as heterotopic, critics commonly draw on Michel Foucault's (1986) discussion of heterotopias, which operate through the simultaneous invocation of multiple but differentiated places, both physical and imaginary (Bryant-Bertail, 2000;Meerzon, 2007;Tompkins, 2009;Wiles, 2003, pp.7-8;Wilkie, 2002a). 3 Site-specific performance, then, is heterotopic because it self-consciously puts actual and imaginary places into play at the same time.…”

Performance Interventions is a series of monographs and essay collections on theatre, performance, and visual culture that share an underlying commitment to the radical and political potential of the arts in our contemporary moment, or give consideration to performance and to visual culture from the past deemed crucial to a social and political present. Performance Interventions moves transversally across artistic and ideological boundaries to publish work that promotes dialogue between practitioners and academics, and interactions between performance communities, educational institutions, and academic disciplines.
