Современите предизвици на перформативноста - театарот денес?!?
Modern Challenges of Performance - The Theater Today?!?

Summary/Abstract: What can be considered as theater nowadays? Which are the contemporary challenges of performativity? How is theater facing digital arts? My research began with some of these and many other questions. This paper is conceived as a theoretical and theatrical study in order to define and determine the changes in contemporary theater. Research has shown some of the various theatrical classifications of contemporary theater and the influence of new media on theater. Performativity is defined according to a research on what is actually modern theater nowadays, how is theatre transformed and how it correlates to current tendency of digitalization. Theater is conservative, traditional, and firmly standing on the foundations of the Aristotelian dramaturgy, and, as such, should accept the change that comes with time as well as circumstances in order to be able to face the wave of contemporary media. For this purpose I have analysed some of the main forms of current theater, starting with internet theater, performances that occur outside the theater scenes, circus performances, and up to controversial and unusual performative spectacles that mark today’s theater. During the research, I used some theatrical scientific and methodological tools, in the same way as some of the most dominant studies of the specific topic are dome.
