| Summary: | Lech Raczak (1946–2020) is remembered by Jana Pilátová, professor at the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (DAMU), and his students. A well-known theatre director, theatre scholar, playwright, and lecturer, for them Raczak was primarily a teacher and a friend. Pilátová remembers the Prague visit of Teatr Ósmego Dnia (The Eighth Day Theatre), under his leadership, not only as an important artistic event, but also as a lesson in organisation and economics. Having collaborated with Raczak for decades, she found meetings with him inspirational, and she also saw how contacts with him opened others to new creative and personal opportunities. Today, the authors of the reminiscences are active in his areas of interest, continuing his work. Pavel Štourač has founded a theatre group: the Continuo Theatre. Biljana Golubovič has researched Balkan rituals and offers art therapy in crise. Martin Frys has overcome his physical limitations and works as a therapist, carrying out his own program for approaching oneself and the theatre. All texts show Lech Raczak as a creative artist and expert educator, but above all as an empathetic person. |
