NASLEĐE ,,POZORIŠTA SLIKA“ – POVODOM SMRTI REDITELJA ROBERTA BOBA VILSONA (1941–2025)
Abstract In 2025, the American director Robert “Bob” Wilson departed the global art scene, leaving behind an extensive and transformative body of work. This paper examines several key dimensions of Wilson’s artistic legacy: his redefinition of boundaries between individual art forms, the creation of hybrid genres, the adoption of “storyboard” and “visual book” working methodologies, and his radical reconceptualization of time and space on stage. While the early, historically significant phase of his oeuvre has long been canonized within the avant-garde art of the late twentieth century, his later explorations increasingly gravitated toward formalism and mannerist experimentation. At the center of our analysis is Wilson’s seminal production Einstein on the Beach (1976), a work that fundamentally reshaped contemporary theatre— and operatic–experience, while exerting a notable influence across a range of audiovisual practices. The paper also considers the distinctive reception and status of this play within the local theatrical context, thus extending the discussion to other Wilson productions presented at BITEF.
Apstrakt Tokom ove godine (2025) svetsku umetničku scenu napustio je američki reditelj Robert Bob Vilson. U radu mapiramo neke od najvažnijih aspekata Vilsonovog umetničkog nasleđa: pomeranje granica između pojedinih umetnosti, stvaranje hibridnih žanrova, usvajanje metoda rada sa ,,storibordovima“ i ,,vizuelnim knjigama“, nov tretman vremena i prostora, i drugo. Dok je istorijska/rana faza njegovog stvaralaštva s vremenom kanonizovana u domenu avangardne umetnosti druge polovine 20. veka, njegova potonja istraživanja bila su prvenstveno okrenuta formi i manirizmu. U središtu našeg pristupa je Vilsonova antologijska predstava Ajnštajn na plaži (1976), koja je označila promenu prirode savremenog pozorišnog (i operskog) iskustva, ali znatno uticala i na druge audio-vizuelne oblasti. U radu se bavimo i specifičnim statusom ove predstave na našoj lokalnoj sceni, proširujući ovo iskustvo i na druge Vilsonove predstave izvedene na Bitefu.
