In diploma thesis I am researching the performative transition during the 1960s, understanding it through the form of performative art. The main focus is the transition era from vibrant modernism into the early years of postmodernism, it is when fine art was pushed from its comfortableness and rigidity into openness, transience, uniqueness and authenticity of an art happening. My interest in connecting fine art (performative art) and theatre originated on the basis of the new aesthetic that started presenting itself in multimedia. The main question of the thesis is whether performative art can perform in the theatre as the competitive semiotic element in comparison with other theatrical elements.
