Poetic Theater of Small Dramatic Forms on the Pages of “Mucha” and “Kolce” in the 1870s

Summary/Abstract: The repertoire of humorous periodicals, even at its early inception, allows to be organized according to numerous criteria – thematic, genealogical, formal and aesthetic ones. One can distinguish marriage and family, professional and social, fantastic and parody dramas. The selected types penetrate each other. Formal parody was signaled by subtitles containing the qualification that determined the formalshape of the work. In this way the newspaper theater revived the conventions revoked by the literary reform of Romanticism. A theater of Paris cabarets was to soon follow in its footsteps with the projects of great 19th century stage reformers – and this is not the only resemblance to the later cabaret art that could be found in this 1870s newspaper theater.
