activities Interview
Dramaturge (* 22. 10. 1967 Karviná)

Her love for literature and art was instilled in her by her grandfather Jiří Polaček, a journalist and poet originally from Krakow. She graduated from the Polish School in Karviná and then from the Polish Gymnasium in Orlová-Laze. After graduating from high school in 1986, she went on to study Slavic languages at Charles University in Prague. During her studies, she completed an internship at the University of Warsaw and also worked as an interpreter. In 1992-1994 she worked at the Polish Institute in Prague, then moved to Ostrava, where she worked at the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland.

Since 1997 she has been the dramaturge of the Těšín Theatre in Český Těšín, where she has participated in almost 80 productions.

Oral history of the Czech theatre

This project was launched in 2015 and seeks to capture the memories of important figures in the field of Czech theatre in audio recordings (usually around four hours long) and, in most cases, also in a short video recording (10–20 minutes long). The recordings are followed by a report of the conversation, which offers a summary of discussed topics and personalities, after every 15-20 minutes. Photographs and personal documents (both in digital format), provided by the narrator, are also available.

The Oral History Module provides a list of figures who have recorded their memories, along with a brief profile, current photograph, and the interview protocol. Full recording, including all the additional materials, is supposed to be studied by registered researchers in the Information and Documentation Department of ATI only. Feel free to contact Lucie Čepcová: lucie.cepcova(at)idu.cz if you are interested.
