Summary/Abstract: What is the mistake in the contemporary performing arts? Which conventions define what is a mistake: what is the traditional understanding of a mistake and how does its meaning change? What happens, for example, when contemporary theatre introduces awkwardness as a new aesthetic category: when and according to what code does what was previously a mistake become an aesthetic quality? Why is it a mistake in a tabloid, what it is not in another genre? In short, what makes something a mistake in one performance and not in another? Gabirella SCHULLER, theatre historian, Tamás GAJDÓ, theatre historian and Ármin SZABÓ-SZÉKELY, dramaturg, discussed these and similar questions.
