Postmodern Czech Performances in Theory and in Practice
Etlíková, Barbora ; CÍSAŘ, Jan (advisor) ; VEDRAL, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the way of using the term postmodernism by the Czech-language theatre critique. In the first part I decided to discuss the thesis' subject in the context of other languages' schools of thought. I identified two main possible ways by which philosophers from abroad define the term "postmodernism" in its general meaning. In the first case (e.g. Charles Jencks) I on one hand found out that the term defined as postmodernism can be easily applied considering art -and therefore the theatre as well- but on the other hand I also found that the term itself merge with the meaning of modernism. In the second case (e.g. Jacques Derrida) I came to a conclusion that even though the definition of postmodernism does not merge with definition of modernism, it can be applied only with great difficulties in the cases of theatre and of fine art. Subsequently, I tried to illustrate the way the three approaches manifested themselves into the Czech-language discussion about postmodernism. In the following parts of the thesis I adhered to the theatrical issues more strictly. On the basis of the analyses of two so-called postmodern theatre performances made a ground for the theoretical approach to the means of expression considered as postmodern. (The terminology I used is the one deriving from the work of Otakar Zich and from the Czech structuralism.) In the conclusion of the theatre-theoretic part of my thesis I took the view that the means of expression used in the so-called postmodern theatre productions do not differ in their very nature from the modern ones; that there are different requirements of viewer's reception in the postmodern performaces though. In the very end of my work I considered the problems that appear with the direct transfer of Jacques Derrida's philosophy to the theatre.

This thesis describes the development of the Czech part of the European Theatre Night project. The international project was started in 2010 by the initiative of the Croatian theatres that organised the national format of this event two years earlier.

The thesis describes the way how the Czech project have been organised so far, its main features, confronts it with similar projects - the Museum Night, the Night of the Churches. Defines the chances that the project is giving to the theatres and also the real benefits for the institutions. It summarizes important positive and negative factors that the organization of the project in the Czech Republic has been carrying and which the organizers and participants have been confronted with during the first two years of its duration.
