This article explores the political and ethical implications of performance representing the ongoing realities of migration in contemporary Britain. Using Good Chance Theatre's The Jungle (2018) as its point of departure, the article problematizes the use of dramaturgies of proximity to confect simplistic notions of empathy as tantamount to political change. In a Brechtian vein, the article argues for modes of distanciation to foster critical engagement among audiences at the site of contemporary performance on migration. Focusing upon the production's West End transfer, its use of immersive strategies and its use of a comedic model to address ongoing issues in migration, this article finds that such strategies are not as politically transgressive as marketing and critical reception often contend them to be, with the onus of responsibility placed solely upon the individual spectator.

欢迎来到丛林：在当代英国移民剧院表演边界和归属感

本文探讨了代表当代英国正在进行的移民现实的绩效的政治和伦理影响。使用好机会剧院的丛林（2018 年）作为其出发点，该文章将使用接近的戏剧性问题提出了问题，以将同理心的简单概念等同于政治变革。在布莱希特式的脉络中，文章主张在当代关于移民的表演现场采用疏离的方式来促进观众之间的批判性参与。本文着眼于制作的西区转移、沉浸式策略的使用以及喜剧模式的使用来解决移民中的持续问题，本文发现这些策略并不像营销和批评接收通常认为的那样在政治上越界，与责任的责任完全落在个别观众身上。
