Performing Collectivity in the Post-1989 Czech Theatre

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper analysed the political and transformative potential of performing collectivity in the production of "Our Our Swaggerers" premiered in 1994. This production was directed by an outstanding Czech theatre director of the 1990s, Petr Lébl, and premiered at the Theatre on the Balustrade in Prague. In times of the post-1989 social transition and shortly after the division of Czechoslovakia, Lébl settled on a canonical nineteenth-century play "Our Swaggerers" which commented on the Czech national character. Lébl, who was perceived as the postmodernist enfant terrible in the Czech theatre milieu, adopted the original playtext in collaboration with the playwright Lenka Lagronová and added a number of new layers and perspectives. In his production, he - among other things - emphasised collectivity of the Czech (village) community, ironised Czech national myths and satirised xenophobic tendencies, employing a number of techniques later associated with the concept of postdramatic theatre. // Assemble!, conference of the Performance Studies international, 20–23 June 2024, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama – University of London, London, United Kingdom
