The paper presented an example of a specific theater project from the fall of 1985 called Project 1985 - staged reading from the contemporary literature of the nations of the Soviet Union, that took place over a period of eight weeks, presenting an original form „staging sketches“, moving on the borderline between literature (novels, short stories, etc.) and theatre (staging process). The blending of art forms in the case of the Theatre on a String creation was related to their concept of theater. The medium of theater was understood by the ensemble as a system or tool in which individual performances are directed not towards aesthetic but ethical goals. This creative credo was extremely important at the time when Czechoslovakia was governed by a communist regime, that means in a time of oppression.
