Cafe Avion

In this thesis specific attributes of region Těšínské Slezsko are treated, with a view to cultural (and especially theatre) activities. It decribes history and current situation of populous polish community which lives in here. It follows both professional and non-professional culture. In the area of professional culture it?s focusing on polish department of theatre in Český Těšín and puppet theatre Teatr lalky Bajka. Also the tesis pay special attention to production Avion ? kavárna, která není (Avion ? cafe, which doesn?t exist anymore). Main topic of this production are difficulties (but also attractions) of multicultural cohabitation, which is typical for this region. The production became very popular and contributed to rehabilitation of relations among different ethnic groups. I?m not historian neither art historian. My target is not to set up komplete study, but to illustrate status of theatre in region, which stays wrongly past natural interest, including my own personal experiencies
