Also "Micro Theater" or "Microtheatre". A term used for small performances, in small spaces - often spaces not intended for theatrical performance, and frequently used for political purposes.

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.

On its website the tiny 44-seater Alexander Upstairs in Cape Town, is referred to as a "microtheatre". However, it has none of the political agenda of the Boalean concept.
