Learning outcomes
Since the dawn of professional German-language theatre, performances have also been staged outside the present-day borders of Germany, Austria and Switzerland - initially as travelling productions, and later also on institutionalised stages, which had a significant impact on the cultural life of the respective regions. As a medium of cultural exchange, professional theatre established traditions whose effects can still be felt today. The aim of the seminar is to reconstruct this tradition, using the example of the German-language theatre tradition in Olomouc, among others.
