| Description | The study seeks to re-assess the question and interpretative relevance of the term "postmodernism" frequently associated with the work of Czech theatre director Petr Lébl. The author believes that Lébl's theatre practise can be rather accurately situated in the paradigm of post-dramatic theatre (intertextuality, visual dramatugry, rhythm, meta-theatricality, play with density of signs). The author asserts that these phenomena can be observed in the work of alternative theatre groups of the 1970s and 1980s and to certain extent in several productions of Otomar Krejča and Alfréd Radok or Jaroslav Malina's stage desings. The prevailing opinion that postmodernism radically entered the Czech theatre in the 1990s is, thus, challenged as distortion. |
