The article is devoted to the phenomenon of political revue, which in the 1920s became a form of political propaganda in Germany. Erwin Piscator’s revue RRR described here is a good example of its agitprop success. Piscator used the revue (which had been associated with bourgeois entertainment until then) for revolutionary goals, appreciating its form primarily for its huge staging potential. The open form of the revue enabled him to combine different genres and contrasting threads, and exploited the new technologies of the time, including the new media (film, photography, radio). Another interesting point is that for Piscator the revue was the future of modern theatre – not only agitprop theatre, but theatre in general.

The article focuses on the stage designs of Antonín Heythum. Heythum's work during the interwar period is relatively well known and has been (somewhat incorrectly) aligned with Constructivist scenography. There are a number of materials for his designs for the Liberated Theatre (Osvobozené divadlo) (e.g. Circus Dandin, Když ženy něco slaví [When Women Celebrate]) and other Czech theatres (Olomouc, Ostrava, and others). We, however, have only scarce information about his work in the US, where he lived after 1939. The article discusses Heythum's war and post-war life and work paying special attention to the production of King Lear, an extraordinary stage experiment directed by Erwin Piscator in New York. The article also examines Heythum's pedagogical activities in the United States.

This article presents unpublished so far archival materials related to cultural transfer and cultural mobility during World War I. The empirical case studies are also the starting point to the formulated at the end of this essay revision of the “networking” theories which have recently become fashionable as a result of the spatial turn in the humanities. They all assume that at present the progress of global development cannot be controlled by individual actors, namely the nation states, but it is determined by the constellations of interdependence and networks of references. Economy, politics and the mass media operate along the lines of communication, not along the territorial boundaries of ethnic groups or a national state. Presented materials prove that such a statement may be applied not only to the present stage of globalization, but also to the communication space which was produced during World War I and played an important role in establishing social relations then. Although it primarily came into being in order to administer the occupied areas and for propaganda purposes, the actors of cultural transfer used this space for their own transnational activity.
