52-5a ıvěta completed, then the works will come out, which will depict yesterday, i.e. today and which should actually be today! In the spirit of D 34 © D 41, trust the password © Serve but do not serve firmly to the goal, ©Theatre Work! Health J. Doležal. D 41. With the theatre audience and critics themselves, the D 4L season forced even deeper interest in the question of what Burian is actually dealing with, what basis does Burian have on which he dares to build his repertoire of firstfruits, which some critics strongly reject? And here comes the survey E.F. Burian and criticy. A rich mixture, short and longer reflections, a mixture of answers from friends and old friends © and this is necessary to speak publicly and the audience themselves, what judges about D 4l with E. F. Burian on the one hand and about criticism on the other. Now the young worker speaks: Naturally we live in XX. We fly above the clouds, we have electricity, we build, we tear down etc., we just go forward, we don't expect miracles of bo-ží, the less in the form of a human-artist. There is no genius born, carrying the gift of heaven with it, to say, Czech nation, here is a new theatre for the next millennium and here you have a theatre for three hundred years of sweet authors. Unbelievable in this miracle is the young audience D 41 and therefore welcomes the man of flesh and blood who, with his collective, took up the work of the new theatre, creates and goes forward. He was not born Smetana, with all his now national treasure, had to work on him and the nation honoured the treasures left by him; but long after Smetano lived in the seclusion of a possible empire in poverty dying, he was eager to evaluate his work. And look, Burian presents several new authors to his audience during the season. Here you have, people, judge fairly, that are the new people who want to work for you. But this is where the criticism interferes. I don't blame critics of Smetana's time, they were mostly strangers. But why look back so far. We know that E.F. Burian has passed and is still going through, with different opinions of certain critics, convincing his readers that Burian is going so far that until the audience gets his money for his goods. We know that it would be much easier for E.F. Burian to do such a thing for the season ©Jumping a dog through oats and for the next season maybe over oats, jumping a hound and done. Without riskiness, popularity, the theatre fulfills, but the main thing; all year from critics peace. About all the audiences D 4l knows and says: E. F. Burian and his team love his work truly, his work is mixed with love and who works with love works and who likes to work well. He works on the foundations of a new theatre, unwinding from old rigid principles, looking for and adjusting new paths and paths to new young people, chee brings and brings the theatre forward. 254
