Abstract
The paper is based on the ongoing research focused on Czech Structuralist thought on theatre and on my research on the linguistic qualities of the Kutiyattam, the traditional theatre of Kerala. The topic is treated in the broader context of acting techniques of Asian theatre genres. My paper will focus on the Kutiyattam's expressive tools and their limitations. I will discuss Asian acting styles from a Structuralist point of view in connection with the works of Czech theatre theorists - e.g. Jiří Veltruský. The main question is whether the Asian theatre genres and their acting techniques could provide a sufficient model of the theatrical sign for "Occidental" theatre theory. I will also discuss the potential of theoretical reflections of Asian theatre practice for Western theatre theory. The paper also takes into consideration the intercultural discussion of theatre theory from a historical perspective.
