Abstract
The concept of "intercultural theatre" has been under debate since the birth of this neologism. In theory, the content of intercultural theatre has varied several times, with expanding forms of intercultural theatre practices. The interweaving of theories and practices in recent decades has caused confusion and misinterpretation in academic discourses. Re-categorizing intercultural theatre practices with the term "cultural appropriation" into text appropriation, form appropriation, motif appropriation, and subject appropriation is effective to clarify meanings and forms of intercultural theatre, as well as the object of ethical, political, and aesthetic discussions, so that indiscriminate use of concepts can be avoided during evaluating various types of intercultural theatre.
