Description

Explore the hidden layers of urban life with The Invisible City: Travel, Attention, and Performance. Published by Routledge, this work examines how urban spaces function as theatrical visions for both residents and travellers. It looks at how cities often remain unnoticed, existing just beyond the limits of human attention. Written from the perspective of a traveller, writer, and theatre creator, the book treats the city as both a stage and a source of content. The narrative structure follows the pattern of Italo Calvino's novel Invisible Cities, where Marco Polo describes various cities to Kublai Khan. Through a collection of vignettes, the text uses travel writing and engagement with art to recall individual cities. This book provides a deep look into how we perceive the environments we inhabit and move through every day.
