Ως έχουν τα πράγματα σήμερα, με την οικονομία να τρεκλίζει και την κουλτούρα στο σύνολό της να σκαρφίζεται ολοένα και πιο μαζικούς και θεατρόμορφους τρόπους διακίνησης αγαθών (από φεστιβάλ σαρδέλας μέχρι φεστιβάλ πατάτας και ντομάτας), είναι δύσκολο να πει κανείς με κάποια βεβαιότητα ποια κατεύθυνση θα πάρει και το φεστιβαλικό τοπίο του θεάτρου από δω και πέρα, πώς θα μπορέσει να αντισταθεί στις μεθοδεύσεις μιας «θεαματικής» αγοράς που διαρκώς του κλέβει ιδέες και πρακτικές προκειμένου να επιτύχει τις εμπορικές της στοχεύσεις. Μέσα σε αυτό το κοινωνικό και οικονομικό πλέγμα, εξετάζεται στο παρόν άρθρο η εισαγωγή και χρησιμότητα του θεσμού του showcase στο Φεστιβάλ Αθηνών.
