The “Reclaimed Avant-garde”
Platform for researchers of Central-Eastern European theatre

In 2017, to spark discussion and stimulate the exchange of knowledge, the Zbigniew Raszewski Theater Institute initiated a platform for researchers of Central-Eastern European theatre. The group’s task in 2017 was to prepare an anthology presenting a panorama of the theatre avant-garde of Central-Eastern Europe, taking into account its diversity in an international context and the interdisciplinary dimension of this phenomenon. Since 2018, the platform has been working on A Lexicon of the Central-Eastern European Interwar Theatre Avant-garde (in English), which will be a summary of the research project financed by the National Programme for the Development of Humanities entitled „Reclaimed Avant-garde. Polish and Central-European theatre avant-garde”.
