In particular, we have examined the question of how the performing HUNGARY arts – from the artistic and organisational side – in each country handle issues such as elaboration of the past and responsibility for the present. These debates, held first in Budapest and later in Kraków, and taken up during various academic and festival meet- MaceDOnia ings, concerned both the history of theatre in academic discourse and historical narrative conducted in the theatre; both the political entanglement of theatre in the past and its contemporary engage- ment in public life. All of these questions were considered both at the POLanD level of possible general statements and taking into consideration local contexts and the specifics of a given country. It appears that many historical and political questions which can be discussed in relation to the theatre are similar in the former com- ROmania munist countries, and are conditional on similar contexts. Still, they are not similar enough to minimise the differences and ignore the historical, political and national specifics of the region’s individual countries. This tension between the common political and cultural SeRbia experience, and the differences in identity, history, language and mentality, which make cross-border treatment of the region’s theatre impossible, gave rise to a need to create a glossary of fundamental concepts that would capture and name both the similarities and the SLOVAKIA differences. For we realised that certain words, concepts and terms that we use have quite different meanings depending on who uses them, where they are used, what background and experience de- termined their content. This observation led directly to the idea of SLOVenia a book that could establish a platform of mutual understanding by explaining the most important and widely used terms: how they function in different countries, their historical context and why they are frequently misunderstood. So this Platform is needed in UKRaine order to give us certainty that when we talk about institutional, criti- 9 cal, national, independent or avant-garde theatre in the context of social, political and economic transformation, as well as about the role of theatre in public life, we are talking about the same thing, or we at least understand what we’re talking about. This book has two fundamental and clearly defined aspects, historical and contemporary, which relate reflectively to the past and critically to the present. Thus it allows us to raise fundamental questions: Do historical circumstances entitle us to be convinced of a com- monwealth of experience that finds its reflection in the theatre? Do there exist regularities of emergence from the systemic crisis in the countries of the region that would entitle us to formulate gen- eral statements? Finally, does there exist something like a Central European identity? Here it seems particularly important to reflect on the way theatre has functioned under the political rigours of communist times and under economic pressure in capitalism – and the accompanying question of the nature and effects of the limita- tions that result from these conditions. In some sense this project is also a methodological proposal in the social sciences – that theatre and the performing arts be used as a lens through which historical experience, systemic generalities and the discovery of identity can be described and analysed. Last but not least, the purpose is also simply to learn something about theatres and their situation in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe – concretely, substantively and not superficially. We decided to concentrate on three themes, which appear to cover a range of connotations and contexts broad enough that with their help we may gain a view of a range of problems and mechanisms that extend far beyond the performing arts. National Theatre could potentially encompass an entire spectrum of questions – from theatre as an institution and the current priorities of state cultural policy, through a feeling of national identity, its historical condi- tioning and the principles of creating a community, through the role of tradition, historical policy and the method by which theatre functions within the categories of “high art” or “mainstream cul- ture”. Independent Theatre allows reflection on how we understand the concept of “independence” in relation to various oppressive mechanisms, but first and foremost it relates to the question of the structure of theatre life, the economic and political conditions in which theatres operate today and in which they operated in the past. Independent theatre also allows us to inquire about the avant-garde of the theatre, about exploratory and underground theatre, meaning 10 the possibility of doing theatre somehow outside the system. Finally, Introduction Archives is fundamentally a question about the source of research on the history of the theatre in a given country, and, which follows, about the basis for constructing a historical narrative, the degree to which it is ideologised and dependent on state policy. Archives are also – in the contemporary humanities, in academic and artistic discourse – a subject more of creation than of exploration, and thus they reveal, better than any other concept, the methodological traps and the vested interests of all narratives. Including those offered in this Companion. The invitation to join in the creation of Platform: An East European Performing Arts Companion

Mira Stupica pamti jedno štrkljasto i visoko dete, krakato, okato, nosato i pomalo dremljivo, koje je kapke imalo uvek napola spuštene, kao roletne. I u sećanju Aleksandra–Luja Todorovića javlja se u istoj slici: visok, štrkljast, šiljat, neopisivo mršav. Vojislavu Kostiću je, tako visok i mršav, sa šišanom bradom, ličio na Don Kihota. Ivana Dimić je imala dvanaest godina kad ga je prvi put videla, na slavi na koju je došla s roditeljima. Među gostima se izdvajao visok, mršav, duhovit čovek koji je psovao. Ogroman, tamnog lica i brade, izgledao joj je kao neki Azijat. Aleksandar–Saša Gruden seća ga se kao klinca koji je s majkom došao kod očeve rodbine u Užice. Prilog opštem utisku: štkljast, nosat, s ogromnim kolenima. Kad su ga upitali kako je, odgovorio je: »Zaštopal mi se nosek.« Posle je objašnjavao da je imao jezički problem: »Govorio sam hrvatski.« Dolasku u Užice 1941. godine prethodi prva velika životna avantura. Od ranih dana naučio je da svet i ljude vidi u slikama. U slikama Zadra, u koji se porodica 1939. seli iz Zagreba, kada je otac Sreten postavljen za vicekonzula Kraljevskog konzulata, prelamaju se, između ostalih, prizori ogromnog stana u kome, po jednom dugačkom hodniku, vozi bicikl.

  • GAVELLA U PROLOGU Darko Gašparović
    GAVELLA U PROLOGU Darko Gašparović 1. Prvi broj kazališnoga časopisa Prolog1 izašao je u travnju 1968., kad se bilo navršilo šest godina od smrti Branka Gavelle, redatelja i mislioca teatra koji je bitno obilježio razvoj hrvatskoga glumišta u razdoblju od 1920. pa sve do sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća. Donju granicu njegova ključnog utjecaja postavljamo na godine neposredno poslije Prvoga svjetskog rata. Pitanje je zašto, kad znamo da je svoju prvu režiju, tragediju Messin- ska vjerenica Friedricha Schillera, bio ostvario u Hrvatskome narodnom kazalištu 1914. godine.2 Zbog izbijanja Prvoga svjetskog rata, unovačenja i odlaska na galicijsko bojište, Gavella se u kazalište kao redatelj vratio tek u kasnu jesen 1917. kad postavlja komediju u tri čina Alfreda de Musseta 1 Izdavač je bio Sveučilišni odbor SSJ, a uredništvo su činili mahom dvadeseto godišnjaci, od najmlađega, brucoša filozofije i anglistike Slobodana Šnajdera, do najstarijega, redatelja Mire Međimorca s dvadeset pet godina. Osta- li su članovi uredništva bili kritičar i esejist Darko Gašparović, prozaik Drago Kekanović, publicist Vladimir Roksandić i student glume Ante Rumora (glavni urednik). 2 Premijera je bila 19. III. 1914., a do 28. IV. nanizale su se svega tri izvedbe. 321 Svijećnjak.3 Do tada je zagrebačkom scenom suvereno vladao Josip Bach, koji je režirao većinu predstava, ujedno obnašajući dužnost ravnatelja Drame. Otada pa sve do kraja godine 1924., kad odlazi u Beograd na mjesto ravnatelja i redatelja Drame Narodnoga pozorišta, Gavella se postupno nametnuo ključnom figurom hrvatske režije u tome razdoblju, uz već spomenutoga Bacha i Ivu Raića, koji je udario temelje modernoj režiji u Hrvatskoj postavkom Shakespeareova Koriolana 1909.4 To je doba kad još uvijek mladi predratni doktor bečke filozofije i kazališni kritičar u dnevniku na njemačkome jeziku Agramer Tagblatt koji se potpisivao šifrom – ll režira svoje prve značajne i stilski samosvojne predstave u zagrebačkome HNK-u, što će kulminaciju imati u suradnji s mladim dramatičarom Miroslavom Krležom.

  • Redatelj Koji Vlada Scenom Branko Gavella I Modernizacija Slovenskog Kazališta
    REDATELJ KOJI VLADA SCENOM BRANKO GAVELLA I MODERNIZACIJA SLOVENSKOG KAZALIŠTA Primož Jesenko Uloga Branka Gavelle (1885. – 1962.) na prostoru nekadašnje Jugo­ slavije, u Ljubljani, Zagrebu i u Beogradu, glavnim kazališnim središtima u tadašnjoj zajedničkoj državi, velika je, i bila je u zapisima Dušana Moravca i Filipa Kalana, Nikole Batušića i Georgija Para, već i znanstveno objašnjena. U godinama između 1920. i 1926., prijelaznim godinama između amaterskih nastojanja i umjetničkog kazališta, umjetnička razina slovenskog kazališta nije bila zavidna. Publika je tražila svoje i ako to nije dobila, u sve se većoj mjeri otuđivala, piše Moravec. Tako danas znamo da je Gavellin sistem režije bio ključan za idejno-estetsku i stilsku europeizaciju jugoslavenskog kazališta, za »prijelom iz romantičnog klasicizma u plemeniti realizam«.1 U Ljubljani je, u međuratnom razdoblju, utjecaj na stil slovenskog kazališta i njegov repertoar kao izvedbeni uzor imao Narodni divadlo iz Praga, a slabije su tragove ostavila kazališta iz 1 Lojze Filipič, Doktor Branko Gavella (Spominske reminiscence njegovega učenca). GL Drama SNG Ljubljana 1961/62, str. 36­38. 384 prijestolnice zajedničke države ili iz Zagreba. U to je doba Gavella isprva bio gostujući redatelj u Narodnom gledališču u Ljubljani, zatim redovni član redateljskog zbora, a poslije oslobođenja nakratko i pedagog za režiju na ljubljanskoj Akademiji za igralsko umetnost (AIU). Odobrenje Ministarstva za prosvjetu u Beogradu 1930. godine, koje se odnosilo na Gavellino »povremeno« režiranje u Ljubljani, osigurao je dopis Otona Župančiča, ondašnjeg ravnatelja Drame i Opere Narodnog kazališta u Ljubljani. (Zbog šestojanuarske diktature 1929. Gavella napušta Beograd.) Razlog za Župančičev prijedlog bio je manjak redatelja u Narodnom kazalištu u Ljubljani, jednako kao i stagnirajući estetski monopol dotadašnjih nositelja dramske režije Osipa Šesta, Cirila Debevca ili Milana Skrbinšeka, što je dovelo do inflacije raznovrsnosti u repertoaru.

  • Memorialization of the Jewish Tragedy at Babi Yar Aleksandr Burakovskiy∗
    Nationalities Papers Vol. 39, No. 3, May 2011, 371–389 Holocaust remembrance in Ukraine: memorialization of the Jewish tragedy at Babi Yar Aleksandr Burakovskiy∗ Independent Scholar, United States (Received 24 November 2009; final version received 26 January 2011) At the core of the debate in Ukraine about Babi Yar lies the Holocaust. Between 1941 and 1943 1.5 million Jews perished in Ukraine, yet a full understanding of that tragedy has been suppressed consistently by ideologies and interpretations of history that minimize or ignore this tragedy. For Soviet ideologues, admitting to the existence of the Holocaust would have been against the tenet of a “Soviet people” and the aggressive strategy of eliminating national and religious identities. A similar logic of oneness is being applied now in the ideological formation of an independent Ukraine. However, rather than one Soviet people, now there is one Ukrainian people under which numerous historical tragedies are being subsumed, and the unique national tragedies of other peoples on the territory of Ukraine, such as the massive destruction of Jews, is again being suppressed. According to this political idea assiduously advocated most recently during the Yushchenko presidency, the twentieth century in Ukraine was a battle for liberation. Within this new, exclusive history, the Holocaust, again, has found no real place. The author reviews the complicated history regarding the memorialization of the Jewish tragedy in Babi Yar through three broad chronological periods: 1943–1960, 1961–1991, and 1992–2009. Keywords: Babi Yar; Jews in Ukraine; anti-Semitism; Holocaust At the core of the decades-long debate in Ukraine about the memorialization of the Jewish tragedy at Babi Yar lies a lack of acknowledgement of the Holocaust.

    Part 3 of THE YEAR IN REVIEW pages 5-13 THEPublished U by theKRAINIAN Ukrainian National Association Inc., a fraternal W non-profit associationEEKLY Vol. LXXXI No. 4 THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 2013 $1/$2 in Ukraine “Freedom in the World 2013”: Democratic breakthroughs in the balance Freedom House WASHINGTON – The emergence of popular movements for reform were the driving force behind major gains in the Middle East last year, according to “Freedom in the World 2013,” Freedom House’s annual report on the state of global freedom. However, a number of regions experienced setbacks due to a hardened and increasingly shrewd authoritarian response to these move- ments.
