| Description | The treatise analyzes public performances presented at the Brno Municipal Teatre between 1895 and 1916 that incorporated projection of images. The projection in the repertoire theatre, which preceded the institutionalization of cinematography, is examined as an example of the blending of theatre and film practices. The paper applies achievements and methods of so-called new film history an, subsequently, discusses theatre and cinematographic practices within the framework of theatre studies. The paper presents various practitioners and focuses on the cinematographic material and its specific implementation. Special attention is paid to the phenomenon of so-called "scientific theatre”, which usually belonged to the educational organizations Urania. One such scientific theatre attempt was conducted in Brno theatre. Its relatively short period is characterized within the context of so-called attractive and contemplative modes of perception of ecinematography, and is explained in terms of the discourse of “noble entertainment”. |
