Нов театрален жанр ли е документалният театър?
Is Documentary Theatre a New Theatre Genre?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to answer the question whether documentary theater is a separate theatrical genre, or simply a specific method for the realization of performances in already established theatrical genres. In order to answer this question correctly and reasonably, I have examined the various aspects in the definition of the phenomenon “genre”, I have traced the influence of Aristotle’s thought system on the conception of theatrical art and on the views of modern theatre theorists. A comparative analysis of various theoretical concepts regarding “genre” has been realized and a definition of “genre” has been proposed – as having a specific impact and asserting this impact in works of documentary theatre, which also differentiates it from other theatrical genres and conceptualizes it in an independent category.
