Abstract In considering some of the aspects that are brought to the site-specific process, this article explores how theatre renegotiates patterns of intraurban movement, enacting complex approaches to space and memory. The focus is on O Ben’Groes at Droed Amser, a Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru and National Theatre Wales production, created in collaboration with BBC Cymru Wales and BBC Arts in 2020 as part of Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru’s new programme in response to the COVID-19 emergency and the challenge of creating original dramatic work during lockdown. By allowing virtual audiences to join author and poet Karen Owen on a bus journey from her home and the street where she grew up to Bangor city centre, the production articulated the experience of the city in terms of individual and collective memory, bringing together issues of performance, representation, history, and heritage to reveal alternative layers to the reality of the urban landscape. Memory, I argue, emerged from this production as a performative construct open to renegotiation through a range of present relationships to landscape. In addition to this, the production also offered an alternative to the privileged figure of the walker, performing a subversion of codified patterns of movement.
摘要在考虑特定地点过程中带来的一些方面时，本文探讨了剧院如何重新谈判城市内运动的模式，制定复杂的空间和记忆方法。重点是Droed Amser的O Ben'Groes，这是一部Genedlaethol Cymru剧院和威尔士国家剧院的作品，于2020年与BBC Cymru Wales和BBC Arts合作创作，作为Genedlaechol Cymru剧院应对新冠肺炎紧急情况和在封锁期间创作原创戏剧作品的挑战的新节目的一部分。通过允许虚拟观众与作家兼诗人凯伦·欧文一起乘坐巴士从她的家和她长大的街道前往班戈市中心，该作品从个人和集体记忆的角度阐述了城市的体验，将表演、表现、历史和遗产等问题结合在一起，揭示了城市景观现实的替代层。我认为，记忆是从这部作品中产生的，是一种表演性的结构，可以通过与景观的一系列现有关系进行重新谈判。除此之外，这部作品还为步行者的特权人物提供了一种替代品，颠覆了成文的运动模式。

Abstract The American parade has been investigated in terms of how it transforms urban streets into a place where collective memory and identity are consolidated along lines of class, race, ethnicity, and gender (Ryan; Roach). However, the role of the rural parade has heretofore seen little critical analysis. Since any conception of the urban relies on the rural as a foil, we wonder how the American parade, existing in both urban and rural landscapes, promotes and challenges the unchecked expansion of cosmopolitan culture and dominant ideology. This article examines how the parade genre functions as a civic ritual that seeks to unite individuals through nationalism and consumerism, yet may paradoxically become a stage for political dissent. By juxtaposing performances from the Bread and Puppet Theater at the Fourth of July Celebration in the rural town of Cabot, Vermont, and Tony Sarg’s “upside-down marionettes” in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, I theorize how conventions of the parade work to inculcate spectators with a sense of group identity. I argue that these same conventions lay the foundation for political dissent, via a process that José Muñoz calls disidentification, to propose (and at times enact) alternatives to dominant ideology.
