Abstracts

EN

Theatre festival is a typical social act that creates space for the wider social debate on the performing arts and a platform for labelling trends. The French festival in Avignon is the successor of the Jean Vilar’s idea about the popular theatre for everyone. The study looks at how this year's Festival d'Avignon 2012 has reflected and manifested these theoretical concepts in the individual events. In the same manner, the study reports on a New European Drama festival in Wiesbaden, on its direction and on the position of Slovak theatre within this context. The study is not a description of the details but explores how the contemporary theatre responds to the social, political and psychological problems of today and thus, how methodically close or distant is from reality, practical truth and veracity of artistic image.
