Learning outcomes
The aim is not only to draw attention to the special situation of the drama in the context of artistic creation, but also affect the specifics of this kind of art beyond the relationship to literature. Lectures will be devoted not only to literary historical problems, but touch on the theme of the relationship as a director and actor, the cultural policy of the state and stage structure in the political systems of the 20th century. We try to evaluate the benefits of cabaret activity relationship of Czech writers of the dramatic arts and consider the phenomenon of small theaters forms.To emphasize the special role of drama within the context of artistic works and cover the specifics of this kind of art above the basic relationship towards literature (e.g. relationship director - actor, cultural policies of the state and theatre structure within the political systems of the 20th century)
