Iconisation of Painful Flow of History /Interpretation Probes into a Theatre Work/
The present study deals with the issue of revitalisation of cultural (historical) memory, focusing on artistic treatment of individual historical elements, including traumatising events. By interpreting a specific theatre work, we endeavour to shed light not only on history in general political and economic terms, but chiefly on private and family history experienced in people’s daily lives, with major historical events serving as its background. Meanwhile, the main focus is on the iconisation of suffering as part of reflection on history seen in auctorial staging efforts.
