Árpád Schilling: Strzaskać skorupę teatru
Árpád Schilling: To Crack the Carapace of Theatre

Summary/Abstract: This article covers the work of Hungarian director Árpád Schilling in the perspective of his direct political activities against Viktor Orbán’s manipulations of democracy. The author situates the theatrical activities of this director as a vehicle for understanding contemporary populism. Using the political and sociological categories (like “stubborn structures” or “deep history”), he describes how Schilling generates the vision of politically engaged theatre based on very simple gestures and texts with “deep histories” and how his activities try to transcend the division between “artistic” and “political”.
