Американският авангардист Робърт Уилсън в Европа и на Балканите
American avant-garde artist Robert Wilson in Europe and the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: The known trend that America is seeking "inclusion" in the field of modernity, especially in Europe, and particularly in the fields of art, is definitely confirmed in the bright biography of Robert Wilson. He is an avant-garde visual artist, opera and theater director and scenographer who presents in a postmodern way the forms, quests and style of European modernism in the 20th century, transforming them into a language of communication of today's culture, the culture of the 21st century. The focusing of an avant-garde artist like Wilson on the European dimensions of art has been materialized in the rich European career of an American who was born in Texas and who is currently the artistic director of an Arts Center in New York. Robert Wilson's biography highlights how he has developed as an avant-garde artist specifically in Europe amongst its modern quests, in its most significant cultural centers, galleries, museums, opera houses and theaters, and festivals - Paris Autumn Forum, Chekhov International Theatre Festival in Moscow and BITEF in Belgrade. Wilson has worked with major European names such as playwright Heiner Müller -"Quartet" 1987, "Hamlet Machine" 1986 and "Hamlet - Monologue" where he performed as an actor, 1995, Samuel Beckett's - "Oh, happy days!", 2008, Luxemburg, "The Ultimate Band of Crap", 2009, Spoleto. He has also worked on classical texts as "Odyssey", Athens, 2012, Ibsen's "Lady from the Sea", 1998, Ferrara, "Per Gynt", 2005, Oslo, Georg Büchner: "Woyzeck", 2000, Copenhagen, "Leonce and Lena", 2003, Berlin. In his visual projects and exhibitions Wilson has introduced the theatricality, the dynamics of the theater; and in his theatrical performances he has included mobile architecture, video, aesthetics of modernism, and has cited cult visions of great artists of European modernism as Magritte and others of his rang. In his performances, along with his visual style, there is an impressive musical score, and rhythm is the main instrument of his extraordinary style. He has been concerned with silence and the impact of body language, forms and light.Robert Wilson won the theater award "Europe" for 1996 and is presently one of the leading names of the avant-garde, and a creator of the international theater language - visual, musical, summarizing the discoveries of the modernity in the 20th century.
