Staging Sarajevo
Gonda, Peter ; TOMÁNEK, Karel, Frant. (advisor) ; MAKONJ, Karel (referee)
Known to a wider audience is the work of the German theatre theoretician Hans Thies Lehmann. A consistent theme in his seminal work, the book Postdramatic Theatre, is the notion of a heterogenous and adramatic theatre praxis spread across Europe, which serves as a preliminary map of a theatre landscape for the 21st. Century.
Key concepts to understand whilst grasping the Postdramatic Theatre theory are the concepts of paralaxis, plethora, simultaneity, musicalization and many others.
In this thesis the author expresses his affiliation with, and knowledge of post-dramatic theatre practices. Nevertheless, his thesis he mainly documents the process of initial creation, writing and rehearsal of the theatre plays Endgame and Sarajevo, in the case of the latter facing difficult questions about warrelated topics embedded in the nature of war movies and theatre, as well as stemming from a difficult and diverse historical discourse of the Balkans. Knowing this, the author examines the siege of Sarajevo, through the prism of many diffferent sources, that range from a real-world diary of the 11 years old Zlata Filipovič, to the articles and interviews written and conducted by the only Czech journalist on the ground, Jan Urban.
Other topics include: fragmentarisation of narrative, non-chronology, and non-psychological acting.
