Bábkarstvo ako forma ľudového divadla

Rok, strany: 2012, 312 - 322

This work shows roots and sources of folk puppet theatre in Europe and other countries. The whole notion of folk theatre (and puppet theatre as well) is connected with nineteenth-century notions of nationalism and the nation state and is often the product of mythologies as much as any genuine tradition. As popular theatre with political edge became dominant, folk theatre came to be seen in many countries as something a little quaint. At worst it was something to be suppressed because it purveyed outmoded ideologies, but as mass tourism developed in the later decades of the twentieth century it was often re-situated as a picturesque tourist attraction. Folk puppet theatre have various sources beginning from the Bible, ancient myths and legends to popular literature or renowned authors, chapbooks, broadsheets, newspapers, historical battles or Hollywood movies. There are some puppet theatre figures, which absorbed aspects of many of their predecessors (probably having the same source of inspiration), but then became what are thought of as "national" puppets. This is where our problem arises, because every society creates its own "folk" figures but the mechanism by which this happens are remarkably similar. Nowadays we know what "folk" puppet theatre is, but the context in which it flourished has all but disappeared, and it seems hard to conceive of a "folk" phenomenon deprived of context.
