Theatrical apparatus and social change: The Divadlo práce project

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The essay discusses the project of the Theatre of Labor that was designed and thought out by Czech avant-garde director and leader of Theatre D Emil František Burian and his scenographer Miroslav Kouřil between 1936-1939. They proposed a theatre institution, situated on one of Prague islands, that manifested the concept of theatre as a center of culture and combined black-box open theatre space, special “theatergraph” space for combination of theatre and cinema, small state for declamation and in early stage a social housing. Using the concept of apparatus/dispositif, the embodiment of the main idea of Burian and Kouřil in the project, that is that the avant-garde have to change its material and organizational base in order to reach new aesthetics and consequently change the dominant social order, is analyzed. Consequently, with a special attention to the topography of Prague islands and riverbanks, the notion of (contra)hegemony is employed to look at the paradox that the project manifested on one hand an attempt to establish a theatre for working class as antithesis of national, bourgeois theatre, and on the other the attempt to inscribe this ambitious proposition into the modernist ethos and narrative of the first Czechoslovak republic. The Theatre of Labor project is compared to other projects and realization of interwar theatre architecture and its analysis is framed by the discussion on the proper building and space for avant-garde theatre in 1900s and 1930s.
