The first issue of the ninth year of the Amphitheater is dedicated to the theme of community and theater. How does theater shape the community? Does it have any impact on the wider society? How is the community inscribed in the dramatic text itself? These are just some of the questions that our and foreign authors address when analyzing examples from the theatrical history of the 20th and 21st centuries.
This issue of Amphitheater was inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Glej Theatre form Ljubljana in 2020, when an international scientific symposium on the topic of Community work was held. Articles bring an analysis of Slovenian experimental theaters (Tomaž Toporišič), Croatian theater scene (Višnja Kačić Rogošić). They further discuss the differences between devised and collective theater (Aldo Milohnić) and between dramatic and no-longer-dramatic text (Gašper Troha). They are complemented by analyzes of various contemporary examples of theater collectives (Branko Jordan) and examples of theater interference in the wider social community in Ghana (Promise Nyatepeh Nyatuame, and Akosua Abdalah), in Mexico (Marina Pallarès Elias) and in the Czech Republic (Intelektrurálně Collective).
The journal is included in: MLA International Bibliography (Directory of periodicals), Scopus, DOAJ.
