Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The analysis examines four productions of Brno-based amateur student theatre group Quidam. In these productions Quidam experimented with a specific form of extremely physical theatre, which accentuated materiality/corporeality and immediacy of theatrical event.

The analysis situates Quidam's liminal productions within the wider context of European and world theatre and performace art of the particular time. However, the analysis also stresses particular local conditions which formed the productions and their meaning.
