Robert Abirached, Marcel Freydefont, Denis Gueynoun, Jean-Michel Guy and Dominique Sagot-Duvauroux share with the reader their thoughts and viewpoints about travelling theatre. Around their remarks, theatrical companies, councillors and directors of cultural institutions enrich the debate with their experiences, testimonies and questioning on the development of new forms of travelling theatre designed for new places.

More than an answer to these questions, the Forum and its proceedings prepare the ground for a changing theatrical practice. A portfolio made by Alexandre Turbant, a travelling visual artist, and Sylivie Caillaud, a travelling playwright and director, concludes the book on a poetic vision of a stopping place in the actors' journey, a jaunt gathering four travelling theatrical companies in the spring of 1996.
