The fall of communism throughout Eastern Europe brought about major
socio-political changes towards the end of the 20th century. Dennis
Barnett and Arthur Skelton explore the effects these changes had on
theatre and performance in Russia, the former Czechoslovakia,
Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and the former Yugoslavia,
while drawing clear parallels with theatre globally. This
fascinating collection of articles describes the various factors
contributing to the changes in theatrical performance, including
the important move from government control to a capitalist,
market-driven environment. The idea of art as business and a
consumer product vs. art as a social prerogative or means for
national dialogue is a common thread throughout the articles, many
of which also look at the role of censorship during the communist
era. This collection includes updated reports on vital cultural
institutions such as the Moscow Art Theatre, the Bolshoi Ballet,
the Sarajevo International Theatre Festival (MESS), and the
Hungarian National Theatre Festival at Pecs. Also, a number of
important theatre practitioners, directors, and playwrights, such
as Boris Eifman, Du?an Kovacevic, Slobodan ?najder, Arpad Goncz,
and Yordan Radichkov, are introduced to the Western reader.
Organized according to country, the book presents both an inclusive
and general overview of the subject-as well as specific in-depth
examinations of the situations in each country-and includes a broad
variety of perspectives: from native scholars to outside
researchers, from personal memoirs to academic inquiries. The
volume concludes with a bibliography, an index, and five
informative appendixes listing works of some of the artists and
companies discussed.
