Drama Revival

The project focuses on the creation, translation, and circulation of new plays. Its core is the creation of 4 new theatre texts for young audiences that reflect the current social and political situation in the Central and Eastern European region. The texts are written by authors from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Ukraine Dagmar Fričová, Oksana Grytsenko, Alžběta Vrzgula, and Tomáš Ráliš under the guidance of local and international mentors. The other results of the project are translations of these newly written texts into English, Czech, or Slovak and Ukrainian and their presentation in the form of rehearsed readings connected with a conference focused on contemporary drama.

Rehearsed readings of all the newly written plays took place on 12th and 13th November 2023, respectively, within the premises of one of the project’s co-organizers, A studio Rubín in Prague, Czech Republic.
