Abstract (original language):
U kontekstu klimatskih promena, kao dugoročnog izazova sa kojim se susrećemo, pozorište može da ostvari važnu ulogu društvenog aktera – ne samo kritičkim ukazivanjem na aktuelne paradigme klimatske krize kroz scenske narative već i kroz svoju ukupnu poslovnu strategiju i organizacionu kulturu koju neguje, tj. imperativ redizajniranja produkcionih pristupa i načina poslovanja kao elemenata i činioca zelene političnosti umetničkih ustanova. U diskursu ekološkog zaokreta savremenih pozorišnih sistema uočavaju se različiti aspekti zelene transformacije procesa planiranja i oblikovanja kostima kroz primenu mera štednje i energetske efikasnosti, odnosno usvajanje koncepta ponovne upotrebe materijala i reciklaže. Pojedini segmenti globalno zagovaranih preporuka u ovom kontekstu (poput ponovne upotrebe postojećih kostima iz fundusa ili second hand izvora nabavke) de facto jesu deo postojeće prakse i u srpskim pozorištima, ali nisu i de jure – praksa utemeljena na pravima i obavezama zelenih politika. Polazeći od ove teze, rad ispituje koliko su (i da li su) globalno pledirane aktivnosti zelene tranzicije poslovanja zastupljene u radu sektora kostima gradskih pozorišta Beograda, i to kroz analizu rezultata istraživanja sprovedenog u sedam pozorišnih kuća, te kroz promišljanje nalaza o načinima i principima rada ovih organizacija u svetlu relevantnih praktičnih preporuka protokola adaptacije i prilagođavanja.

Summary:
Climate change as a long-term challenge imposes an obligation for individuals and institutions to face the consequences of these changes. Thus, the role of a social agent that the theater realizes relates not only to pointing out the current paradigms of the climate crisis through stage narratives, but also its overall business strategies and the organizational culture it nurtures. The theater has to redesign its production approaches and ways of doing business – as elements and factors of art institutions’ “green politics.” In this regard, the various aspects and possibilities of the transformation of the process of planning and shaping costumes in modern theater systems are identified – from the implementation of energy efficiency measures, to the adoption of the concept of material reuse and recycling. However, certain segments of globally advocated recommendations in this context (such as the reuse of existing costumes or second-hand procurement sources) are already part of everyday practice in the Serbian theaters, but the question arises whether those practices are grounded on “green motives.” With the aim of answering this question, and having in mind the relevant practical recommendations of the adaptation protocol, we examine how much (and whether) globally pleaded activities of green transformation are present in the costume sector of Belgrade’s city theaters.
