In: Theatre as a Value-based Discourse Slovak Theatre and Contemporary European Theatre Culture: Conference Proceedings from the International Scientific Conference 5th and 6th of October 2017 Bratislava, Slovakia

In the 1960s an (aesthetic) turn occurred in the field of Slovene theatre. This could be perceived as a rejection of the socialist (or social-realist) view of art. This break started at the end of the 1950s with the establishment of non-institutional theatres (the Experimental Theatre in Ljubljana, Oder 57, and other). This was a period of the emergence of new contemporary theatre practices (small stages, experiments, and theatre as the result of group participation) and the arrival of new genres (theatre of the absurd). The image of Slovene theatre in socialist society began to change with the impact of the neo avant-garde and experimental theatrical practices, and this article will briefly describe their origin. The alterations were expressed through production, performances, and aesthetics. The 1960s were a time when institutional theatres began to use new forms, principles, texts, and (Western European) philosophy in performances. This article aims to show the coexistence and symbiosis of the artistic and aesthetic development of Slovene theatre in both the institutional and non-institutional spheres. This connection was revealed with an aesthetic-philosophical view on theatre as well as in direction and acting itself (i.e., the practical approach) when one actor was part of both institutional and non-institutional practices. Therefore, the transfer of principles from experimental stages into institutions was essential for visible changes that could be seen in repertoires, casts, critical reception, methods of acting and directing, and the arrival of new generations. This article was prepared by reviewing repertoires and making comparisons between different theatres. Critics’ reviews of certain performances and actors have been evaluated. In particular, the historical time and space that determine the relationships between art and a political model was taken into account. The consideration of the context is inescapable when dealing with theatrical facts. The political and social situation constantly influences the relationships within theatre art and the messages that the authors want to communicate through their artistic work.
