The Performance Group was a theatre group based in New York, it produced Dionysus in 69. TGP's founder and artistic director Richard Schechner directed and conceived the play. It was a site specific theatre that utilised the audience and space in such a manner as t bring them in close contact with each other. It challenged the orthodox theatre interpolating action and text devised by the audience, deconstructing Euripides text and involving the spectators in sensory and artistic experience.
