The aim of the course is to present a contemporary historiographical approach to the developmental tendencies and stylistic changes of world theatre in the first half of the 20th century (artistic modernism and avant-garde). The emphasis will be on tracing the continuity of stylistic changes that also influenced theatre culture during the so-called neo-avant-garde and its diversification. Students will gain a thorough overview of the developmental changes in the performing arts, particularly in the first half of the 20th century, while being able to consistently contextualize and conceptualize one of the key aspects of humanities studies - modernity, the mechanisms of its construction, deconstruction and reconstruction, and the concepts associated with it. Thus, the purpose of the course is not simply to present the established anchoring of this epistemological category in the history of humanity and individual cultures, but rather to fundamentally rethink and revise it through the previously marginalized, peripheral entities and identities that nevertheless naturally co-constituted the concept of modernity.
