Theatre for Children and Taboo

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Taboo is usually understood as a topic that is not discussed because it is considered too painful, complicated, or “inappropriate,” such as death, violence, sexuality, family breakdown, illness, otherness… In this regard, is theatre, especially theatre for children and young people, a medium that has the potential to safely uncover taboos? What is so uncrossable in the performing arts today that it raises questions and calls for correction? Is it social norms, a code of ethics, personal moral attitudes, or something else that transcends us? What triggers intervention against a theatrical work intended for children? Is today’s world necessarily inclined towards or directly exposed to external recommendations or even official bans, as was the case during the Czechoslovak normalization period and long before it, or is today, on the contrary, an era of destroying the “sacred and dangerous”? What do we mean by free artistic creation, and what do today’s children need to see and experience in the theatre? Is there room for bans and censorship in theatre for children, or should it be a search for artistically valid and ethically acceptable forms of dealing with “taboo” topics? The topic of theatre for children and taboos as an area for research was opened up by the study of researchers (Jorge Dubatti and Nora Lía Sormani) at the 1st International Forum of Critics and Scholars in Buenos Aires in 2010. Even today, fifteen years later, it remains a relevant territory of ideas, insights, and inspirational stimuli, a figurative beacon whose added value is the advocacy of taboo topics and means in theatre intended for children.
