Connecting Avant-Gardes and Theatre: How to revolutionise the Relationship between the Periphery and the Centre
The aim of the symposium is to map various geographical and historical attempts to revolutionise the relationship between the periphery and the centre in Europe and beyond. First, during the historical avant-gardes of the 1920s, then the neo-avant-gardes of the 1960s and 1970s, the post-avant-gardes at the turn of the millennium, and finally the contemporary radical theatre practices since the turn of the millennium. We will examine whether the neo-avant-garde, the post-avant-garde and contemporary engaged art have revived, in different national, political and aesthetic contexts, some of the basic ideas of constructivist, futurist, expressionist, surrealist, supremacist and other utopian visions.
The symposium is organised by the Slovenian Theatre Institute (SLOGI), the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television of the University of Ljubljana (UL AGRFT), Amfiteater – Journal of Performing Arts Theory and the Slovenian Society of Aesthetics within the framework of the research programme UL AGRFT Theatre and Intermedia Studies.
