The internationally oriented research project analyses the strategies of political theatre in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the 21st century. The project starts from the observation that political theatre has experienced both a rebirth and notable changes in most parts of Europe since the first decade of the new millennium. A similar development can be observed also in a societal politicisation at the same time. The research project focuses on Eastern Europe and with that on those countries which have experienced a radical cultural and political transition in the past 25 years after having been under the influence of the Soviet Union for decades. This region has been chosen because it has not been taken into account enough by international theatre researchers due to a perception that often focuses on Western Europe. Additionally, the potential for political theatre is especially high in this region for it has lived through enormous political upheavals and is still determined by societal uncertainties.The research project aims at analysing and critically describing manifestations of today s political theatre in Eastern Europe. The results will not be regarded as representative for a certain nation but as representative for a certain movement of political theatre. The historically and culturally grown differences between the individual national cultures will be taken into account. Yet the aim is not to depict national theatre landscapes neither in parts nor in its entirety. The central and guiding question is: Which dramaturgic, aesthetic and performative strategies is the contemporary political theatre in Eastern Europe following today? This question will be analysed on the basis of case studies of performances by theatre makers from various countries across Eastern Europe. The methods of the performance analysis (according to Fischer-Lichte, Pavis and others) will be the basis of the case studies. In the course of the analysis, on the one hand, the positioning of the individual performances in the social and economic context will be studied (according to Schößler, Bähr, Jennicke and others). On the other hand, the interplay between different theatre traditions and its political potential will be analysed under the aspect of interculturality (according to Pavis, Fischer-Lichte and others). Finally, the study will examine if the strategies of the theatre makers coincide with today s concepts of political theatre (according to Lehmann and others) or set themselves apart from them or rather open new levels of the term. The project aims at describing a wide spectrum of different approaches to political theatre in Eastern Europe and at locating it in the European theatre landscape and tradition. This way, the research project wants to approach today s understanding or understandings of political theatre in Eastern Europe.

这个面向国际的研究项目分析了世纪初东欧政治戏剧的战略。该项目的出发点是，自新千年的第一个十年以来，欧洲大部分地区的政治戏剧经历了重生和显著变化。同时，在社会政治化中也可以观察到类似的发展。该研究项目的重点是东欧，以及那些在过去25年中经历了激进的文化和政治转型的国家，这些国家几十年来一直受到苏联的影响。之所以选择这一地区，是因为国际戏剧研究人员对这一地区的认识往往集中在西欧。此外，政治戏剧的潜力在这个地区特别高，因为它经历了巨大的政治动荡，仍然是由社会的不确定性所决定的。该研究项目旨在分析和批判性地描述当今东欧政治戏剧的表现形式。选举结果不会被视为代表某个国家，而是代表某个政治舞台运动。将考虑到各个民族文化之间在历史和文化上形成的差异。然而，其目的并不是要描绘国家剧院的景观，无论是部分还是整体。核心和指导性的问题是：今天东欧当代政治戏剧遵循的是哪种戏剧创作、美学和表演策略？将根据东欧各国戏剧制作人的表演案例研究来分析这一问题。绩效分析方法（根据Fischer-Lichte、Pavis等人的研究）将成为案例研究的基础。在分析过程中，一方面，将研究个人业绩在社会和经济背景下的定位（根据Schößler，Bähr，Jennicke和其他人）。另一方面，不同戏剧传统之间的相互作用及其政治潜力将在跨文化性方面进行分析（根据Pavis，Fischer-Lichte等人的观点）。最后，本研究将探讨戏剧制作者的策略是否与今天的政治戏剧概念相吻合（根据莱曼和其他人的观点），或者将自己与政治戏剧概念区分开来，或者更确切地说，打开政治戏剧概念的新层次。该项目旨在描述东欧政治戏剧的各种不同方法，并将其置于欧洲戏剧景观和传统中。通过这种方式，该研究项目希望接近今天对东欧政治戏剧的理解或理解。
