Vít Neznal’s PhD thesis begins by defining theatre as a specific sphere of media. According to the author, such notion is made possible by following up to the tradition of Czech theatre theory (immediacy as a specific feature of the medium, a synthetic basis, a non-substantial conception of a work, acting as a decisive art, a total three-dimensional feedback-based communication with cardinal impact on the specific nature of stage acting, and an active position of the spectator). On this basis, Neznal proceeds to explain why there is no justifiable reason for theatre theory to abolish the dichotomy between art and reality. His premise is that while theatre is rooted in life, it is at the same time automatically and irreversibly taken out of it as a medium. As a result, there is, from the point of view of theatre theory, a difference between an intensified “life” entering the stage and becoming the basis of expression (intensification of “life” is the basis of means of expression and is therefore made intentional) and between its integration with other pillars forming the constitutive basis of a theatre act as such on the actual level of media (the artificial pervaded by “life”).
