Színház és dráma a finnugor és a nyugat-európai nemzetek kulturális kapcsolatainak és a vonatkozó összehasonlító kutatásoknak a fókuszában
Theatre and Drama in the Context of Cultural Relations and Comparative Research of Finno-Ugric and Western-European Literatures and Cultures

Summary/Abstract: Connections and relations in the field of theatre and theatrical texts (not only dramas, but stage works using different theatrical tools, languages and effects), have increasingly developed during the last decades. The trends, effects and cooperation forms could be considered within a national as well as in a comparative framework. How can foreign viewers “understand”, experience a performance, what happens with the cultural meaning of stage gestures? There are historical and contemporary examples of misunderstanding or missed meanings, but also for creating new contexts of meaning for a performance. What are some of the precognitions and preconceptions, expectations of the contemporary theatrical scene of Western cultures towards Finno-Ugric ones? We take examples of drama and theatrical performance of the last decades, and from Hungarian, Finnish, and Estonian cultures to find any common features or typical ways to communicate with Western-European readers or theatrical audiences.
