Theater of fact

-

Theater of fact - a trend in theater where the production is based on a scenario, which is the assembly of documents (ie protocols, letters, sound and film recordings). The representation of the theater is often maintained in a convention or court hearing. The subject is usually social events or high-impact political matters (most often involving war crimes, responsibility for the use of weapons of mass destruction, etc.). Often viewers are presented as observers of the process, the dilemma of the steward and the critic remains the issue of the boundary between the recorded truth and the fictional scene. For the needs of theater the fact is that theatrical art is created, which creates a literary movement, referred to as the drama of the fact. The elements of the reality theater also appear in other, not directly related, works and stage productions. History

Erwin Piscator was the forerunner of the reality theater. In 1927 he performed Rasputin, Die Romanows, der Krieg, und das Volk, das gegen die aufstand (Rasputin, The Romans, The War and the People Who Made Them), in which he used portions of actual film chronicles from military activities. During the show, he also displayed a war timetable with statistics on the victims and fragments from the letter of Tsar Nicholas II to his wife, which contrasted with the cruelty of the fought battles, creating an ironic context for the other scenes. Such a way of presenting reality aroused strong resonance. Emperor Wilhelm II won the trial for offending his person, after which Piscator's actors read the passages from the scene.

Particularly popular fact theater gained in the 1960s in Germany. Rolf Hochhuth created the play The Lieutenant, Heiner Kipphardt The Hearing of J.R. Oppenheimer's, Peter Weiss's Investigation, Song of the Loose Slaughter, and Viet Nam Diskurs. Theater of fact in Poland

An example of the reality theater in Poland is the Nuremberg Epic of Jerzy Antczak (Television Theater, 1969) and the accused: June '56 Izabella Cywińska (Nowy Theater in Poznań, 1981).
