Abstract
In the study the author strives to present the topic of body suspension to wide professional Czech public, to which it has been practically unknown, with regard to methodology of theatre and performance studies (Erika Fischer-Lichte, Judith Butler). The phenomenon bears a number of features interesting especially from the perspective of Theatre and Performance Studies, Anthropology, Ethnology, and Culturology. The study is supposed to attract interest of professional public to this complex phenomenon, presenting it with help of foreign secondary sources and the author's own research of Czech and Slovak body suspension communities.
