As she explains, the volume adopts "a 'global' perspective on performances of Ibsen plays," which, for the editors, distinguishes their collection from the outpouring of literary criticism devoted to "Ibsen the dramatist and the significance of his plays within different cultures" 1. The contributors share, through their discussions, a commitment to exploring "the relationship between text and [End Page ] performance" and "the interweaving [of ] a text from the European tradition.

The editors have organized the contents into three sections. In addition to its overview of these sections and the essays they contain, Fischer-Lichte's introduction stands as both a critical analysis of Ibsen in the global modern theatre and a theoretical consideration of what she calls the "interweaving" of "performance or theater cultures" 7.
The worldwide staging of Ibsen thus serves as an opportunity to break free of the "Eurocentric perspective" of modernism as a movement tied to specific western political and aesthetic developments and to consider instead "multiple modernities" 3 that have arisen globally at different times and in different ways.

For Fischer-Lichte, these Ibsen performances "furthered the process of modernization" across both social and artistic registers from the late nineteenth century through to the present. Fischer-Lichte also directly challenges, here, the term "intercultural theatre," used by other scholars to describe a range of global performance encounters. For Fischer-Lichte, this term "presupposes the feasibility of clearly recognizing the cultural origins of each theatrical element and distinguishing between what is one's 'own' and what is the 'other's.
She hopes that her notion of "interweaving performance cultures" circumvents these issues. By "global Ibsen," then, she and the other contributors "not only mean that his plays are performed across the world"; such performances also "localize his plays. As Fischer-Lichte notes, of course, these performance encounters are almost always mediated through translation 5.
Thus, there is no stable Ibsen text to be circulated on an international scale. What does this mean, then, for her concept of interweaving?
