Theatrical Reception of Václav Havel's Works in Croatia from 1968 until 1990
Helena Roštaš
Sažetak
The article analyzes the reception of Václav Havel’s plays in Croatia from 1968 to 1990 in theatres and among critics. After the military intervention of the Warsaw Pact countries in Czechoslovakia in August 1968, the period of the so-called normalization ensues. It influences the further development of Czech literature by introducing censorship. During the normalization Czech literature was divided into the official and unofficial part. Until the end of the communist era in Czechoslovakia writers who were part of the unofficial scene relied on self-publishing or emigrated and set up publishing houses where they published their books. One of the most famous names among the Czech dissidents during that period is Václav Havel. His plays have been continuously appearing on the repertoires of Croatian theaters since 1980 and have had a strong critical reception in Croatia. The article also analyzes possible changes in the reception of Havel’s work during the analyzed period.
