Dwa światy, jedna opowieść. Porównanie procesu opowiadania w bajkach surinamskich oraz w teatrze improwizowanym
Abstract
The article aims to show similarities between the Surinamese fairy tales cultivated in oral form and improvised theater performances. An analysis, using poststructural and comparative methods, aims to compare the form and structure of two oral (literary and theatrical) performances, proving that irrespective of the (geographical, ethnic, aesthetic) roots of the emergence of both forms of art, the core and the order of specific elements during complex oral presentations is repeatable and depends on the needs of artists and recipients, which is successfully presented during the analysis. The material used contains a series of performances by improvised theater groups and a (written) record of oral performances by Suriname storytellers made by Willem Campagne.
