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 polarization of society, open manifestations of antisemitism, and racism have repeatedly raised questions about the division of human beings into “Untermensch” and “Übermensch”, which in the past culminated in the “Final Solution” to the Jewish Question in Slovakia. Seventy-six years since the first transports of Jews from Slovakia, a question has arisen as to how much the theatre can impact young viewers and raise their interest in history (circumstances, storylines) through a theatrically mediated image of that period as seen through the eyes of the middle and younger generations of theatre makers. Is the aim of such projects to stimulate catharsis? Or are they rather intended to indirectly offer caution with a parallel to historical connections, where “Jude” is interchangeable for any other word to denote a race or colour of skin that is not white? At the present time, theatre is not expected to give a stereotyped view of pain, fear, or an enemy, but is rather expected to present a novel perception of connections and signs from the perspective of our times. It is important to know about the past, as it would be wrong to take facts out of European contexts.
