Generally, the dramaturg determines the way in which a text is to be performed. In the puppet theater, the dramaturg's role is even more complex, as it is not or not always possible to strictly separate the setting from the text. In many countries, the dramaturg does not function independently, especially when the text is created by the director or creative ensemble. In this article, the author gives many examples from theaters around the world showing how fruitful it can be to have director-playwright teams working together for a long time. There are plenty of current examples of this, as well as of a dramaturg working for multiple companies. This can be productive, but it also has its dangers. The point is this: let us recognize the importance of dramaturgy and let us have more and more such dedicated professionals in the field of puppetry. In his study, the author not only raises theoretical questions but also puts puppet dramaturgy as practiced in recent decades into a historical perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
