520 _aGiven the polarization of political and academic discourses about the expulsion of the Sudeten Germans, does the theater manage to present an alternative discourse? Taking theater to be a social practice, this analysis of a corpus of plays created between 1990 and 2013 focuses on their presentation of events, the response of the public, the social changes advocated on stage, and the actual effects. Theater allows not only for passing on historical information and comparing the divergent opinions of Germans and Czechs but also for lifting the issue to a higher level, such as the history of humanity. By intentionally recreating events on stage, theater can present novel thoughts about how to contextualize narratives about the German past.
