ABSTRACT
Bringing together theatre and sport may seem paradoxical in Europe, but not in China where there seems to be no boundary between the two. There have also been cross-links between theatre and sport in history. However, scientific categorisation has neglected the products of this cross-fertilization and with it entire social, economic, ideological and cultural realities as well as the interest areas of populations and related industries. We propose four themes to address this issue: cross-links between the language of sport and theatre; theatre as ornament of sport; sport to prepare for theatre professions; synergies between the nature of sport and theatre.
