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

The study discusses Slovak Modernist drama in the interwar period and analyses works by Július Barč-Ivan (1909–1953). It shows the heterogeneity and plurality of his approaches when constructing plays, which led to an innovative “creative destruction” of the dramatic form. Some of these innovations were based on implementing lyrical and epical principles in drama, whereas some of them were related to contexts of visual arts, painting, and film; some of them reflected philosophical, theological, and psychological concepts. The article also argues that Barč-Ivan, partially consciously and partially unconsciously, imposed limits and control on this destruction so that the form withstood and restricted the chaos. Regarding theatre, it argues that Barč-Ivan’s plays contain Modernist elements that resisted staging in his time and resisted staging generally, even though postmodern theatre might have brought some solutions to the challenges.
