Contemporary Shakespeares on Festival Stages: Empathy and Futurity in Poland and Hungary

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This article examines contemporary Shakespeare productions staged at major theater festivals in Poland and Hungary, focusing on how these performances engage with themes of empathy and futurity. By analyzing a selection of Shakespearean adaptations and reinterpretations, the study explores how Polish and Hungarian directors use the Bard’s works to address current socio-political issues, while also envisioning possible futures. The article investigates the role of empathy in these productions, looking at how directors and actors foster emotional connections between audiences and characters, and how these connections influence the reception of Shakespeare's works in post-socialist contexts. Additionally, it explores how these festival productions negotiate the relevance of Shakespeare's themes—such as power, identity, and justice—in light of contemporary concerns. Through the lens of performance theory and cultural criticism, the article argues that these contemporary adaptations of Shakespeare offer more than just a re-examination of the past; they provide a space for reimagining the future. Ultimately, the article highlights the ways in which Shakespeare remains a vital cultural resource in the ongoing dialogue between history, politics, and theater in Central Europe.
