Abstracts

EN

The study is dedicated to the work of the Swiss director Milo Rau, which is characterised by an understanding of art as a tool of communication. Several projects are presented in the study, with the author focussing on the phenomenon of reenactment and preenactment, their starting points, points of contact, and composition techniques. Given the nature of Rau’s work, the study includes a definition of these terms in relation to documentary theatre, from which some of the techniques are drawn, but with respect to final form, the future is a distinctive element of reenactment. The centrepiece of the text is an analysis of the preenactment The Congo Tribunal, in which Rau reflects on three cases of human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, concerning the mining of precious minerals, particularly coltan and cassiterite, massacres, and population displacement.
