Course objectives
The Course is outlined as an one-semester lecture that wants to make students familiar with the work of Jiří Mahen, a personality who has been underestimated in many aspects and whose work is closely connected with Brno, and with his influence on cultural life and theatre of 20 century. Besides some outstanding figures of interwar avant-garde, the lecture will recall ensembles and personalities of the second half of 20 century that follow Mahen’s work and ideas. At the end of the course students will get an overview of the Mahen´s personality and they be able to interpret and analyse his works and the work of his followers.
