11th International Theatre Meetings - OKNO 2007
Polish-German University of Theatrical Research17th - 21st October 2007
17th - 21st October 2007
After the last year presentation of theatres referring to tradition, this time we decided to focus on various ways of theatrical research. We selected four geographical directions (Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary), and the same time four different ways of thinking about art (from a specific theatrical archeology meeting the elemental rhythm and music of the CHOREA Theatrical Associaltion; seeking inspiration in own folk tradition of the Buda Folk Band, through extreme work with actors' bodies and energies of the Novogo Fronta Theatre, to a conceptual, minimalist, marked with enormous sense of absurd of the büro für zeit + raum theatre and modern experiments in stage movement of the Two Fish team). At the same time we are going to share with others our understanding of selected concepts, such as: tradition, space, therapy, center - within the context of accomplished projects. The staring point of this year meeting is, above all, the practice.
