Redefining the Political in Emerging Democracy: Czech Theatre after 1989

Original language description

The paper drew on Christopher Balme’s concept of the theatrical public sphere to argue that the relation of the early 1990s Czech theatre to the public sphere was less distant and insignificant than commonly assumed. Radka Kunderová also argued that rather than completely disappearing from Czech stages, the theatre makers were struggling to redefine the nature of performing the political in the new, post-communist social situation when top of the agenda was construction of a democratic capitalist state. Inspired by Chantal Mouffe’s reflections on antagonism and agonism, the paper examined how performing the political was redefined in the early 1990s Czech “postmodernist” theatre and how social issues performed on stage resonated (or failed to do so) with theatre audiences and the wider public sphere. // Cultural Heterologies and Democracy II.
