How can we interpret the 21st-century (no longer) dramatic texts and theatre in art and theory?

Toporišič, Tomaž (author)

The essay analyses the corpora of the dramatic or non-dramatic texts of contemporary authors (Simona Semenič, Milena Marković, Tim Crouch, Oliver Frljić, Katarina Morano and Žiga Divjak, Anja Hilling, Wajdi Mouawad, Dino Pešut and She She Pop) as a border area belonging to both the field of literature and theatre. While detecting the specifics of the interpretation of drama and theatre, the author uses eclectic tools offered by literary and performing arts studies to analyse the corpora of contemporary drama or no longer drama and performing practices. Focusing on a series of contemporary playwrights and theatre directors, he seeks answers to the question of how we can interpret the changes in drama and theatre. How did the specific return to the theatre of words, as defined by the French theorist of contemporary drama Élisabeth Angel-Perez, take place, and to which extent are today’s theatre and drama still post-dramatic but nevertheless establish a new return to the dramatic and dramatised? How do these “experiments belonging to the so-called ‘post-dramatic theatre’ which is also a (post-)deconstructionist theatre, eventually, end up redramatising whatever it was they strove to un/de-dramatize” (Angel-Perez)? Thus, paradoxically, “‘no-longer-dramatic’ texts put forward a new dramaturgical form that subverts the dramatic representation of the world as a fictive whole and accommodates the ‘unsurveyable present’ (Lehmann) of the mediatised-globalised world”.

Abstract

Razprava izhaja iz teorij Gerde Poschmann o ne več dramskem tekstu za gledališče, Bruna Tackelsa o pisavah odra, Anne Monfort o neodramskem, inestetičnih premis Alaina Badiouja ter seveda postdramskega Hans-Thiesa Lehmanna z namenom raziskati procese nevarnih razmerij med dramatiko in gledališčem na telesih dramskega ali nedramskega besedila kot mejnega področja, pripadajočega tako polju literature kot gledališča na eni strani; na drugi strani pa gledališkega ali uprizoritvenega dela kot »interpretacije« dramskega ali literarnega in specifičnega prevajanja literarne v performativno dimenzijo. Pri detekciji posebnosti drame in gledališča, pa tudi širše uprizoritvenih in literarnih praks v teoriji in umetnosti, reinterpretira in uporabi eklektična orodja, ki jih ponujajo literarna in uprizoritvene vede, ta orodja pa aplicira na korpuse sodobne dramske ali ne več dramske besedilne in uprizoritvene prakse (Simona Semenič, Milena Marković, Tim Crouch, Oliver Frljić, Katarina Morano in Žiga Divjak, Anja Hilling, Wajdi Mouawad, Dino Pešut in She She Pop) kot so se formirale in transformirale v dveh desetletjih 21. stoletja.
