The Penultimate Dinner. Staging analysis

Summary/Abstract: This study is an analysis of one of the most significant productions of Blahoslav Uhlár, staged in collaboration with the scenographer Miloš Karásek and the actors of the Theatre for Children and the Youth in Trnava on 30 June 1989. This was a ground-breaking production, the culmination of several years of Uhlár’s experimetal practice, and it prefigured his poetics in the avant-garde STOKA theatre, established in 1991. In Penultimate Dinner, Uhlár and Karásek made full use of their poetics of decomposition. Significantly, it was a message of the creators about the contemporaneous situation just before the so-called Velvet Revolution, by which they held a critical mirror up to the decadence of the dying totalitarian regime in communist Czechoslovakia and to the people who participated in its existence either as opportunists or as representatives of its power.
