Abstract
The theoretical works of the Prague School's structuralist thought, which became the basis of the contemporary semiotics of drama and performance, were often inspired by concurrent artistic experiments. This contribution features a few theoretical concepts such as aktualizace, semantic gesture, stage figure, and their connection with the contemporary stage practice, especially the work of the Liberated Theatre, which made ‘a specific contribution to the anti-illusionist theatre of the European avant-garde.’
