Return and Tactics: The Idea of Play in the Estonian Culture of the 1960s and the Happening 'The Burial of a Mannequin' 9-30; Summary

Summary/Abstract: This article analyses the idea of play as a method of creation and a mitigator of social oppression in the Estonian culture of the 1960s, focussing on the happenings organised by young artists and comparing them with the aims and methods of the Tartu ’theatre innovation’. The specification of the essence and main characteristics of play is based on Roger Caillois’ cultural historical theory of play. A somewhat exceptional happening, ’The Burial of a Mannequin’ (1969), is discussed in more detail.
