Theater is an integral part of European civilization. A theater is not an institution, a product or a building. Theater is a manifestation of a living culture, a medium of self-reflection, a means of education and an open platform for civil society.

Theater is an integral part of European civilization. A theater is not an institution, a product or a building. Theater is a manifestation of a living culture, a medium of self-reflection, a means of education and an open platform for civil society. Theater is play, education and dialogue (ludical, didactic and dialogical principle). Theater is a synthetic living work of art that initiates the intellectual, emotional, ethical and aesthetic areas of the human personality.

There is a fundamental difference between a children's theater, a drama club and a professional theater for young people.
The Youth Theater 12+ is to be understood as an accessible public service.
The Theater for Studying Youth, in cooperation with primary and secondary schools, is to help develop the complex personality of a young person during his physical, mental and civic adolescence.
The education of young spectators is the primary interest of theaters and theater institutions, as well as civil society.

Youth Theater is not primarily intended to fulfill the artistic ambitions of the creators.
Youth theater cannot be evaluated primarily on the basis of economic indicators, sales or "success" or "sold out".
The Youth Theater should place the highest demands on the quality of the original, the direction of the dramaturgical interpretation and interpretation.
Youth Theater should be in line with the curriculum and the ethics of education, but should offer an inventive and original alternative to traditional teaching methods, both in grasping the topic and in the means of expression.
The theater should engage, surprise and initiate the young person, it should conduct a dialogue with him about his topics and problems.

After twenty years of working in professional theaters, I am becoming more and more aware of why theater is such an exceptional part of European culture. Our professional theaters and theater institutions represent only a small part of human activities marked by theater, and only those in which theater is used as a final "product", or as a subject of education, or a subject of reflection and research. However, theater and theatricality cannot be derived from the partial and marginal area of social and cultural life.
Theater has been a defining part of European civilization since the heyday of ancient Athens. It was born together with literature, history, philosophy, sciences, but also with politics and politics, democracy, and with the prototype of today's state.

It is no exaggeration to say that theater was born with Europe, not as a "by-product" of the fermentation of civilization, but as one of its basic ingredients, even as one of the "accelerators" of its development.
From the days of Athenian democracy to the present day, theater has been an integral part of our literary canon, religious ideas, art, philosophy, scientific theories and politics.

In many manifestations of human activity, it functions almost as a universal model as a semiotics, a metalanguage, a metaphor, and a symbol of the world.
Theater creates means and determines the ways of our self-reflection.
Theater is a means of sharing experience, building empathy, solidarity and common values. Theater is a platform for dialogue between unique language cultures, but also between generations, between different social, opinion and interest groups.
Theater is irreplaceable and irreplaceable. As Jorge Louis Borges wrote in a short story: "If we didn't have theater, we would have to invent it as a tongue, as a wheel, or as gravity." However, this paradoxically made the theater "invisible." As an ethereal concept, it has become an organic part of European culture, and today of globalized or global civilization.

This important aspect of dialogue is related to the interpretation of the word dialogos as dia-logos = action of living speech, action through speech. The effect of living speech and rhetoric was described by Aristotle as a collaboration of "persuasive means." He named them: logos (reason, meaning, meaning), ethos (tradition, habit, morality), pathos (empathy, feeling, passion) and mélos (strength, melodicity, beauty of recitation).
We still describe living speech and its effect with the help of adjectives as: logical, reasonable, meaningful, ethical, traditional, appealing, empathetic, sensitive, pathetic, passionate, melodic, solid.
It is theater in its various forms that is a synthetic living work of art that initiates the intellectual, emotional, ethical and aesthetic areas of the human personality. It is thus a kind of communication superchannel, through which a complex human personality is addressed. As Friedrich Schiller writes in Acts on Aesthetic Education: “The living word performed on stage by the playwright is the highest manifestation of a whole human being, it is a celebration of man created by God in his image. Joyfully filled and desperately suffering, the theater is to express human integrity and dignity in the theater. "
