Abstract (EN)

Through its history, humanity has never hesitated to use play to communicate and as a form for knowing each other. The concept of play has advanced the civilization and evolved in the centuries on the field of the shared space of player to transform the life itself a play ground. Playful human with an inner drive to fill the holes of life and the existence of play, plays with a direct instinct through the differentiating ground of his own daily life. Art, just like play has an expectation of an involvement without any interest outside of its purpose in itself. Acts of freedom are a benefit of 'art and play's partnership. Recovering of play that is lost in the fragmented structure of modern daily life and the idea to chance the artistic path of play are described as a struggle for freedom of avantgarde movement. Transformation of daily life in western European cities which were a theatre of world wars of the 20th Century and the dream of distrupting contemporary culture play are the reason of structuring new plays in the context of making art a creative element of the daily life. This study focuses on political and artistic plays in the structuralization of avantgarde formations of Dada, Surrealism and Situationist International's orientation on criticism of modern daily life.
