Micro Theatre
Also "Micro Theater" or "Microtheatre". A term used for small performances, in small spaces - often spaces not intended for performance. It would appear that this concept is related to Augusto Boal's notion of "Invisible Theatre".
A form called "micro-theater" was portrayed by Samuel R. Delany in his science-fiction novel Triton.
