On the Future… If There is Any”, a further “record” from the informal discussion of the group “nation is art” – a subgroup of the “manual of crocheting” group. The section “A small stocktaking… samples of Awards” looks back at both the Malá inventura festival and the 2020 Theatre Critics’ Awards: Blanka Křivánková (“How to Abolish the Magic of Baddies?”) reviews the solo performance Badman by Nela H. Kornetová and T.I.T.S. (runner up place in the Best Actress of the Year category), and Eliška Raiterová (“To Touch Houellebecq”) writes about the production Serotonin (directed by Natália Deáková, MeetFactory) with an outstanding performance by Jan Hájek (runner up in the Best Actor of the Year category). Blanka Křivánková (“In a Slightly Different World – Dance Films by the ensemble 420People”) writes in the section “Theatre… on Movie Camera” about various theatres’ experiments with film media, and Vladimír Mikulka (“A Report about One Carnage”) reviews Eyewitness, filmed by Jiří Havelka with actors of the National Theatre instead of the planned production. Ways to attract an audience even in quarantine are considered in the section “This Way… to People”. Miroslav Paulíček’s introductory “sociological notes” are entitled “Theatre as a Fellowship”. Ester Žantovská (“Though Remote, We Are Together”) writes about an online version of the performance ZOO Motel by Thaddeus Phillips, Martina Mašlárová (“The Water of Life Live”) about an interactive online project Eau de Vie by Lucia Kašiarová, Peter Šavel and Tomáš Vtípil, and Barbora Etlíková (“Between Me, Julia and You”) about Distant Thoughts by the company Building Conversations, which links up strangers by phone. The section closes with Iva Heribanová’s essay (“The Social Theme of Our Times”) about three new paratheatre projects from the series Nové sady (New Sets) by the Brno platform Terén. The next instalment from the “new directions for use” or Seven Up(right) Directions for Dishonest People by the poet Michal Šanda is preceded by the first part of Pavlína Morganová’s study (“What to Do When Nothing Can Be Done”) about Czech Action Art, chiefly from the 1970s and 1980s. The Slovak section “Not Only Lockdown… in Slovakia” encompasses “the third SaD survey from quarantine” which drew responses from the following theatre makers: Blaho Uhlár, Michaela Zakuťanská, Andrej Kalinka, Gejza Dezorz, Viliam Klimáček, Ľubomír Burgr, Júlia Rázusová a Sláva Daubnerová. Matúš Marcinčin writes here in his essay “Not Only about Bastards and Earthworms” about Slovak productions by the director Braňo Mazúch (Demons, Ubu Roi and The Sandbox at the Alexander Dukhnovych Theatre, The Adventures of Puss and Pup at the Puppet Theatre in Košice, and Black Water at the State Theatre Košice). The section closes with “An Operatic Pandemic Season” by Michaela Mojžišová writing about The Diary of a Young Girl by Grigori Frid in the Opera Studio of the Slovak National Theatre (directed by Marek Mokoš, conducted by Ondrej Olos) and about the multi-genre online project Alma and Gustav Mahler: A Married Life in Songs staged at the State Theatre Košice (directed by Anton Korenči). The Slovak section also includes a photographic reportage from the Happening Antigen by the sculptor Viliam Loviška and his friends. The section “Mix… and Comics” offers Marie Zdeňková’s study “People Make Clothes – The Costume and its Actor”, dedicated to Czech costume-making. Milan Uhde has contributed to this issue two plays: the series of short comedies written for the SaD magazine “From Evolution Revolution and the Other Way Round” includes his apocrypha What Happened When Dorotka Had Married Švanda and the play of the issue is a modern Faustian variation The Assumption of Doctor F. The fantasy comic strip The Twin “about the final struggle between theatre and television in both our and parallel worlds” by the duo Klimáček-Danglár continues with the next instalment, Mutiny.
