| Description | This paper deals with a historical material of the American "Avant-Garde" theatre as it emerged in theatres such as the Performance Group, the Wooster Group and the Living Theatre in the 1960s. First, it presents a brief overview of the Continental Avant-Garde in the theatre, with the theoretical perspective of the Prague School, namely its theorists of the Avant-Garde theatre in Russia, France and Czechoslovakia such as Jindřich Honzl and Jiří Veltruský. It further compares these aesthetic, social and political notions with those of the American Avant-Garde, which appeared about one generation later. |
