Театърът на новия реализъм: смесване на езиците
New realism in theatre: mixing the languages

Summary/Abstract: The New Realism in theatre is a hybrid dramatic form, established in the late 1990s by German director Thomas Ostermeier, who mixed on the one hand the languages of different arts and on the other hand, different dramatic languages. The paper follows two especially defining interactions in this type of a contemporary stage practice: the combining of the language of drama and the language of film with the new technologies and the specific combining of the maximal external authenticity of actor’s presence and material environment with the revealing and display of the actual experience of contemporary man, magnifying and exaggerating onstage otherwise concealed tensions, distortions and excesses of movements, gestures and intonations. These two types of ‘mixing the languages’ are examined using as examples the emblematic Thomas Ostermeier’s productions Shopping and Fucking, A Doll’s House, Hedda Gabler, Dominic Cooke’s The Comedy of Errors and Bulgarian Director Yavor Gardev’s Hamlet.
