Learning outcomes of the course unit
The aim of the lecture series and analysis classes is to, in part, orient students in the issues of „fashionable theatre post-modernity“ which includes contemporary theatre discourse, and provides analytical tools enabling for a critical approach for reviewing works and allows for the distinguishing of creative originals from conventialized „alternative“ eclectivism.
Issues:
Drama objectivity and post-dramatic subjectivism.
Chronotopic collapse of a post-dramatic piece.
Lyotard's crisis of narration and post-modern scepticism towards a story
Drama character crisis: from the inter-subjective presentation to intra-subjective self-experience
Distrust towards a causual nexus, synchronicity and chaos theory.
Logo and depiction. text crisis. depiction ambiguity. Performance and installation.
Story and time.
Basic works:
August Stridberg: A Dream Play, Eugene Ionesco: Exit The King, Roland Schimmelpfenig: Arabian Night, Sarah Kane: Psychsis 4.48, Tadeusz Kantor: Wielopole, Wielopole,
Andrej Tarkovskij: The Mirror, Christoph Marthaler: Murx den Europaener!
Mode of study
Lectures, classes, written review and its defense, oral exam.
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Course is intended for Drama Theatre Dept. directing and dramaturgy students. The requirement is completion of the courses Theatre Terminology, Theatre in the History of Western Culture, Theatre in the History of Czech Culture (or the lecture series History of Czech Theatre and History of World Theatre I & II).
Course contents
Students are introduced to some aspects of post-drama theatre through lectures devoted to partial issues in the composition and structure of important works arranged in that theatre trend. The students learn with these works in independent study and in screenings and analyses during lectures. For students in creative studies, aside from inspiration, should contribute to an awareness of new limits and the responsibility of the artistic element of a theatre piece, particularly, dramaturgy, directing and set-design.
