In the Realm of Politics, Nonsense, and the Absurd: The Myth of Antigone in West and South Slavic Drama in the Mid-Twentieth Century
Original language description
The study analyses a selection of after War and contemporary West and South Slavic dramas, nine plays that were after 1945 inspired by the myth of Antigone. In the research we use a comparative methodological approach focused on vibrant models of the intertextual dialogue. The cycle on Classics and Communism, has now reached its third volume. This volume deals with a similarly significant institution, namely the communist theatre and its staging of ancient comedy and drama. The goal is to examine whether and how the authorities, their ideologists, and theatre directors, both pro- and anti-communist, used classical antiquity in general and ancient plays in particular to promote their ends - after the October Revolution and later World War II opened Central and Eastern Europe to Soviet domination.
