Room for the audience? What magazines had to say about the spectators of the Théâtre de l’Est Parisien (1963–1987)

From the 1960s to the end of the 1980s, the magazine of the Théâtre de l’Est Parisien (TEP) opens its column to its own audience: apostrophes, photographs, quotations, surveys and stories testify to the institution’s desire to find an interlocutor. This ideal figure evolves over the years from the "expert" spectator to the institutional partner, then to the fellow citizen, the neighbor whose voice resonates as much on the stage as in the magazine itself.
