The article presents some facts and figures of today’s migration, which do not support the currently dominant negative discourse on migration, especially in the western and northern worlds. In addition, the article analyses this discourse based on concepts derived from fields other than migration studies, including Julia Kristeva’s abject, Foucault’s object, Pupavac’s therapeutic governance of societies, and others. In doing so, the article describes the potentialities of social and community-based theatre in aiming at resolving some of the problems of integration, biases, social cohesion that migration brings with itself, while also highlighting possible epistemological and ethical limits and risks of the use of theatre in activities linked to the institutional response to the management of migration.
