Abstract

The chapter focuses on selected artistic initiatives giving specific shapes to the multiple and complicated relations between the (theatre) avant-garde and the post-war crisis of identity in Central European art and culture. It links specific representational tactics of the Trieste, Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade avant-gardes, their conceptualisations of Europe in Crisis. Using those examples, it shows, how the post WW1 crisis in the corner between Italian Futurism and Fascism, Â»BarbarogeniusÂ« of Ljubomir MiciÄ, Slovene constructivist circle in Trieste and Karst Region, Workerâs stage in Ljubljana and expressionism, was linked to the political, cultural and aesthetic as well as ethic crisis. Thus the aesthetic revolutions of constructivist circle in Trieste, Tank and Dada Tank in Ljubljana and Zagreb, Delakâs Workerâs Stage and Grumâs expressionist plays in Ljubljana and Zenitism in Belgrade were the artistic and human responses of the avant-garde artists to the newly developed crisis in Europe after 1918. Or, to use the words of SreÄko Kosovel: Â»Europe is dying. / Sports, the economy, politics. / Japan versus Russia. / NEW CULTURE. / New culture: humanitarianism. / New politics: humanitarianism. / New art: for man. / Europeâs hour of death draws near. / Anoint it with H,SO,. / The hour of grief. / A curtain has unveiled a new world.Â«
