(Semi-)public settings: diversity in the city streets and on stage

Intangible heritage practices blending in superdiversity are taking the stage and act in public street performances. In this section a number of possibilities are presented. The carnival model and the artistic model are different types of performances, related to the role liminality and communitas play, in the performance continuum between ritual and performance.
