ABSTRACT
The concept of interactive dramaturgy is an attempt to analyze how dramaturgy influences artists’ approach to their work and relationship with the spectator. Dramaturgy implies certain philosophical and conceptual assumptions that have been ingrained in our minds while growing up in a particular culture, speaking a particular language. It has to do with the way we use words and understand them in relation to the extralinguistic reality. What words denote is very often a matter of social consensus and the historical experience of a certain community of “speakers.” The same applies to an interactive approach to dramaturgy, which is not a literary science yet deals with text and words for its other qualities than a means to linear, narrative comprehension. Our application of this concept depends on the language of performance itself; text is only one of its many layers of audience reception.
