Sažetak
In the recent events in the European theatre, especially in the last decade of nineties of the last century, we were witnessing the abundance of explicit violence on the stage. Starting from British in-yer-face trend with Sarah Kane and Mark Ravenhill, the very realistic stage presentation of the most cruel scene become fashion and very soon and through the German involvement, real trend of the European theater under the name of new European drama. The article shows the way of imposing the trend in Brittan and in Europe – from proclamation that this is the only possible way of presenting reality, till discrediting anybody who dares to doubt it, from very cleverly use of media and critic, till the awards for following the trend. The paper also discus the usual argument for showing explicit violence on the stage ie. realism and poetry, political awareness and public demand - showing that they are mere demagogies – there is no such things in plays with only showing the ways of torture and without human soul or human society on the stage.
