Learning outcomes of the course unit
The goal of the seminar is to familiarize students with current European theatrical or dramatic works, especially those based on different principles from the theatrical culture of Central Europe or of the Czech Republic and is therefore neglected by current czech dramaturgy. The emphasis is on work with texts that do not fall into traditional dramatic categories and therefore are resistant to classic dramaturgical analysis. An integral part of the seminar is also reflection on the different preception of the dramatic or of theatricality in various (European) cultures.
Mode of study
Discussion, papers, moderated discussion, analyses of recorded stagings.
Prerequisites and co-requisites
No requirements. Completion of Theatre History II 2 is recommended.
Course contents
Course content is primarily analyses of dramas which have arisen in the last twenty year in which it is possible to indicate the particular direction of this or that (language) theatre culture. Students, also, are introduced to important persons of theatre directing abroad and the function of theatre institutions in individual countries. Along with direct individual experience with foreign theatre, video recordings, foreign language dramas and existing Czech translations are used.
