In the 19th century, the theatre played a role in the national awakening movement and later, in the 20th century, it became a part of modern European theatre art. The original Czech cultural phenomenon came into being at the end of the 1950s. This project called [[Laterna magika]], resulting in productions that combined theater, dance, and film in a poetic manner, considered the first [[multimedia art]] project in an international context. A drama is [[Karel Δapek]]'s play ''[[R.U.R.]]'', which introduced the word "[[robot]]".<ref>{{cite web|title=The Origin Of The Word 'Robot'|url=https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/the-origin-of-the-word-robot/|access-date=5 January 2021|website=Science Friday}}</ref> The country has a tradition of [[Puppetry|puppet theater]].
