In Between: A Journey of Cultural Integration is a multimedia art installation that tells the story of a Korean girl’s cultural integration journey. The story was inspired from my personal experience of moving from South Korea to the U.S. In the 12’ x 14’ room, the narrative was delivered by media. The story was introduced by the projected text of a diary on a book in the middle of the room. The images that were projected on all four walls enhanced the narrative. The each viewer was forced to experience the installation alone and experience the loneliness of the journey. The successful collaboration between scenic and media was important for creating a cohesive design for this project. I worked with several projection designers to create the narrative development. Throughout the process, the boundary between scenic design and media design became blurry and I and my collaborators became a creative team as a whole. This project was intended to share my personal story of cultural integration with a broader audience by inviting them to have a different perspective view towards the immigration community in America. It also became my personal challenge to create a space that could tell a story without an actor. / text

Do espaço vazio ao círculo aberto: rumo à cenografia e indumentária sagradas de Peter Brook identifica e expõe o processo de criação do espaço teatral, dos cenários e dos trajes de cena, nos espetáculos Marat-Sade, Sonho de uma Noite de Verão, Mahabharata, Qui est lá e A Tragédia de Hamlet, realizados pelo grande encenador do século XX. Reflete, documenta e identifica os princípios que orientam os projetos de concepção dos elementos visuais das peças, durante a concepção do espetáculo e, a partir da análise destes documentos, aponta para a evolução de seu teatro rumo ao que Brook define como teatro sagrado. / From the empty space to the open circle: towards Peter Brook\'s holy set and costumes design identifies and explains the process of creating theatrical space, the sets and the costumes of Marat-Sade, Midsummer Night Dream, Mahabharata, Who is there and The Tragedy of Hamlet, performed by the great director of the twentieth century. Reflects, documents and identifies the principles that guided the design projects of the visual elements of those plays during their conception, and from the analysis of these documents, points to the evolution of his theatre towards what Brook defines as holy theatre.

This thesis investigates the communicative role of scenography in the performing arts for children, with an aim to make the readers understand the ways in which a set design can be optimized so that a young audience can be able to interpret the play and its message. The art of scenography is complex and includes many elements. The research questions can therefore be grouped into three clusters: one artistic oriented (How does the scenographic process work and what is its relation to the scenic piece at large? In which ways may scenography be used to support the desiderate interpretation?), one audience oriented (Which work processes enhances the chances of creating dramatic art that is perceived as meaningful to the audience? On what premises can the semiotics of theatre be used in the performing arts for a young audience?) and last a cluster that focuses on Den magiska cirkeln (The Magic Circle) by ung scen/öst (What is told in the show and how is this portrayed in the scenography? Who is in the target group, and does the audience get the feeling of the performance as intended?). Den magiska cirkeln is used as a case study in the thesis in order to reflect the theoretical material. Methods in the case study includes performance analysis, a survey completed by 178 people in the audience and an interview with scenographer Anna Dolata. 14 performing analyzes of Swedish children’s theatre shows have been made in addition to the case study. The thesis analyses and compares two work logics; the internal logic and the external logic, and it is shown that meaningful interpretations are likelier to happen with an external logical point of view. But the result is not unequivocal; a performance without any internal logic is likely to fall flat as the performance needs to be extracted from the creators’ full conviction. As shown in the thesis, scenography can be used to amplify the readings and intents with usage of the semiotics of theatre. It is important not to overlook the great potential of scenography in order to enhance the experience. The thesis also shows that the intentions that ung scen/öst had with Den magiska cirkeln went past many in the audience. Many felt that the show was confusing, and expressed frustration at not having solved the performance’s message. A high level of knowledge about the audience, and a willingness to listen and absorb its opinions, increases the chances of creating meaningful performances. Key words: scenography, stage design, set design, stage art, performing arts, theatre, children’s theatre, theatre semiotics, ung scen/öst / I denna uppsats studeras scenografi inom scenkonst för barn och unga. Syftet är att utreda vilken roll scenografin har för förmedlingen av det som berättas för publiken. Detta syftar i sin tur till att läsarna av denna uppsats ska förstå på vilka sätt en scenografi kan utformas på bästa sätt för att en ung publik ska kunna ta till sig föreställningen och dess budskap. Scenografi är en komplex konstart som innehåller många moment. För att uppnå syftet ställs frågeställningar som kan indelas i tre kluster; ett konstnärligt, scenografiskt orienterat (Hur ser den scenografiska arbetsprocessen ut och i vilken relation står den till det stora allkonstverket? Hur kan scenografi användas för att stödja och förstärka det som önskas förmedlas på scenen?), ett publikorienterat (Vilka arbetsmetoder ökar chansen för att skapa scenkonst som upplevs som meningsskapande av mottagaren? På vilka sätt kan teatersemiotiska överenskommelser användas i scenkonst för en ung publik?) och ett kluster som fokuserar på ung scen/östs föreställning Den magiska cirkeln (Vad berättas i föreställningen Den magiska cirkeln, och hur gestaltas detta i scenografin? Vem/vilka berättas det för, och får publiken den känsla av föreställningen som avsändaren har avsett?). Den magiska cirkeln används som fallstudie i uppsatsen med syfte att reflektera det teoretiska materialet mot ett verkligt studieobjekt. I fallstudien ingår föreställningsanalyser, en enkätundersökning med 178 personer i publiken samt en intervju med scenografen Anna Dolata. Förutom fallstudien har även föreställningsanalyser gjorts av 14 föreställningar som visats på Sveriges barnteaterscener 2012-2013. I uppsatsen analyseras och jämförs internlogisk arbetsmetod med externlogisk, och den visar att chansen för meningsskapande upplevelser hos publiken är större med externlogiska referenspunkter. Men det är inte helt svart eller vitt; utan internlogiska drag riskerar föreställningen att falla platt, eftersom det är viktigt att föreställningen utvinns ur upphovsmakarnas fulla övertygelse. Denna uppsats visar att scenografi kan användas för att förstärka bakomliggande läsart och intentioner med hjälp av teaterns semiotiska teckenvärld. Det är viktigt att inte förbise scenografins stora potential för att förstärka visuell och kroppslig erfarenhet av alla de teman som upphovsmakarna önskar förmedla. Uppsatsen visar även att ung scen/östs intentioner med Den magiska cirkeln gick många åskådare förbi. Flera ansåg att föreställningen var förvirrande, och uttryckte frustration över att inte ha knäckt föreställningens budskap. En hög kännedom om sin publik, samt en vilja att lyssna och ta till sig av dess åsikter, ökar chanserna för att skapa meningsfulla gestaltningar.

São raras as oportunidades para expor um traje de cena fora da cena, em uma exposição na qual seja possível refletir sobre a obra criada, seu processo de trabalho e propostas cênicas, tanto no País quanto no exterior. A maior exposição internacional de performance design acontece, há 58 anos, na República Tcheca, tendo reunido artistas, pesquisadores e estudantes de 90 países, na última edição, em 2015. Durante a Quadrienal de Praga (1967-2015), o Brasil já foi premiado diversas vezes, incluindo o prêmio máximo da PQ: a Triga de Ouro, em 1995 e 2011. Porém, a falta de uma instituição responsável pela organização da participação do País causa instabilidade nas formas curatoriais, além de escassez de verba. Este estudo investiga como o traje de cena do teatro brasileiro é representado na exposição internacional. Um percurso que se faz necessário iniciar na Bienal Internacional das Artes Plásticas do Teatro (1957 a 1973), evento criado como um quadro pertencente à Bienal de São Paulo e que, após sua quinta edição, faria surgir a exposição tcheca. Uma documentação inédita, com amplo resgate documental e iconográfico, compõe esta tese e serve como fundamental objeto de estudo para reconhecer qual a posição do traje cênico nesta trajetória de vinte edições, construída ao longo de 58 anos, para possibilitar a investigação da hipótese desta tese: confirmar se, no histórico da participação brasileira, entre 1987 e 2003 - quando a representação do país esteve aos cuidados do cenógrafo J. C. Serroni - houve algum tipo de preferência curatorial por artistas e/ou trabalhos cujos trajes de cena tenham reforçado uma possível presença de influência na construção da imagem do figurino teatral de acordo com estereótipos da cultura brasileira, em destaque as características estéticas do Carnaval. / There are few opportunities to expose a costume design out of the scene in an exhibition in which to reflect on the work created, their process and scenic proposals, both at home and abroad. The largest international exhibition of performance design happens, during the last 58 years, at the Czech Republic and brought together artists, researchers and students from ninety countries in the last edition in 2015. During the Prague Quadrennial (1967-2015), Brazil has been awarded several times, including with the top prize of the PQ: the Golden Triga, in 1995 and 2011. However, the lack of an institution responsible for organizing the country\'s participation causes instability in curatorial forms, as well as lack of funds. This study investigates how the Brazilian theatrical costume design is represented at the international exhibition. A route that is needed to start with the International Biennial of Visual Arts of Theater (1957-1973), an event created as a frame belonging to the Bienal de São Paulo and, after its fifth edition, would raise the Czech exhibition. An unpublished documentation with extensive documentary and iconographic rescue, makes up this thesis and serves as a fundamental object of study to recognize what position the scenic costume has in this twenty editions\' trajectory, built over 58 years, to enable the research hypothesis of this thesis: confirm that, in the history of Brazilian participation at PQ, between 1987 and 2003 - when the representation of the country was in the care of set designer J. C. Serroni - there was some sort of curatorial preference by artists and / or works that led to the reinforcement of stereotypes of the Brazilian culture, highlighted the aesthetic features of the Carnival.

To develop our investigation, we examined, based in the Discourse Analysis of the French, precisely Dominique Manigueneau postulates (2005;2008), the link between the linguistic, the discursive and social, seeking in enunciation the way to build the set design and to what measure the speaker s ethos shows the political, social, ideological and cultural Brazilian aspects, in a discursive and interdiscursive dimension, exhibited in the protest discourse. In order to achieve the intended goal, we chose like model two lyrics written by Gabriel, o Pensador, considering that the composer produces verbal critical texts and that they contemplate contemporary Brazilian social practices. The discourses study of these song lyrics shows the construction of the enunciator s ethos o, taking into account the social link associated with the speech made about the axis of the political history of Brazil from the 90's, considering the behavior of the order representatives in Brazilian public institutions. Through certain situations illustrated in the lyric discourses, we observed that the speaker s ethos articulates towards the co- enunciator s ethical world and both are configured as participants guarantor in the social ethos of the values citizens, whose principles are based on the posture of honest men who believe in justice, in the ethical sense and human and they are indignant by attitudes of misgovernment in Brazilian public institutions / Este dissertação tem como tema o estudo das representações linguístico-sociais, que propiciam a construção da cenografia e a legitimação do ethos discursivo em letras de músicas produzidas por Gabriel, o Pensador. Para o desenvolvimento de nossa investigação, examinamos, à luz da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, precisamente nos postulados de Dominique Maingueneau (2005; 2008), a articulação entre o linguístico, o discursivo e o social, buscando, na enunciação, o modo como se constrói a cenografia e em que medida o ethos do enunciador apresenta os aspectos políticos, sociais, ideológicos e culturais do homem brasileiro, numa dimensão discursiva e interdiscursiva, explicitado no discurso de protesto. A fim de atingirmos o objetivo pretendido, escolhemos como amostra duas letras escritas por Gabriel, o Pensador, considerando que o compositor produz textos verbais críticos de análises das práticas sociais contemporâneas brasileiras. O estudo dos discursos de letras de músicas mostra a construção do ethos do enunciador, levando-se em consideração a ancoragem social associada ao discurso constituído no eixo da história política do Brasil, a partir da década de 90, considerando o comportamento dos representantes da ordem nas instituições públicas brasileiras. Por meio das situações determinadas no fio discursivo das letras, pudemos observar que o ethos do enunciador articula-se com o mundo ético do co-enunciador e ambos configuram-se como fiadores partícipes do ethos social dos valores cidadãos, cujos princípios se fundamentam na postura de homens honestos que acreditam na justiça, no sentido ético e humano e que se vêem indignados com tantas atitudes de desgoverno nas instituições públicas brasileiras

The Italian stage expresses a kind of representation grounded in classic patterns which became hegemonic through more than four centuries. As drama‟s plastic fundament, set design mediates text and visuality based on the key-concept of "mimesis" and offers itself to analysis from the perspective of the baroque allegory and the concept of frame as scenic and architectural condition. The concept of "allegory" is the radiating center of the scenographic language in use on Italian stage and its space; and the concept of "dialectical image" concludes his critique. The scenography of Vida and Esta Criança (companhia brasileira de teatro, Curitiba/Brazil, 2010 and 2012) are analyzed from these concepts in the context of history and theory of theater and arts. / Esta pesquisa pretende analisar a cenografia teatral em relação ao espaço cênico enquanto sua imagem e objeto significante. O palco italiano expressa uma forma de representação pautada em padrões clássicos que se tornou hegemônica durante mais de quatro séculos. Enquanto suporte plástico do drama, a cenografia faz a mediação entre texto e visualidade partindo da mimese e se abre à análise da perspectiva, da alegoria barroca e da moldura como condição cênica e arquitetônica. O conceito de alegoria é o centro irradiador da linguagem da cenografia de palco italiano e seu espaço; e o conceito de imagem dialética arremata a crítica. As cenografias do espetáculo Vida e Esta Criança (companhia brasileira de teatro, Curitiba, 2010 e 2012)1 são analisadas a partir destes conceitos e no contexto da história e da teoria do teatro e da arte.

2 Mgr. Jan Petružela Alfréd Radok and His Stage Practices Analysis of the Production of Devil's Circle Abstract Alfréd Radok (1914- 1976) started his second term at the National Theatre (1954-1960) with two moderate productions, in which he, due to the Stalinist régime, suppressed his creative power. However, the following season Radok came with the production of Devil's Circle (1953), schematic play by Hedda Zinner about the Leipzig trial (1933), in which he found his essential topic - to grasp the Zeitgeist and manifest a universal mechanism of totalitarian power and trumped-up political trials. In this production, staged in the period of mild political "thaw", Radok managed to bring back to the Czech theatre modern stage directing practices and re-established the position of stage director, which was reduced in the previous years by the dogmatic aesthetics of socialistic realism. The production of Devil's Circle (prem. December 21, 1955) at the Estates (then Tyl's) Theatre, warmly received by audience as well as critics, renewed and developed for that time unprecedented, though historically verified principles: imaginative, non-descriptive theatre with a meaningful overlap, strict approach to acting with an emphasis on realistic, civil-like expression, interpretation of dramatic sitution, intense work...

Eduardo De Filippo, homme de théâtre napolitain qui a traversé presque tout le vingtième siècle, possédait plusieurs compétences qui s’influençaient réciproquement : dramaturge, comédien et metteur en scène, il dirigeait également sa propre compagnie et son théâtre, le San Ferdinando. Dans ce contexte, les metteurs en scène se sont trouvés impressionnés, voire inhibés, par ce multiple investissement mais aussi par une oeuvre de portée universelle, toujours à la lisère entre le comique et le tragique. Notre recherche vise à comprendre les raisons de cette crainte et à explorer les différentes façons d’affronter les pièces du maître napolitain. Dans notre première partie consacrée à Eduardo De Filippo, nous avons fait ressortir la figure d’un artiste complet et nous avons essayé de mettre en évidence la distance que le metteur en scène prenait à l’égard de ses propres textes ainsi que le rôle joué par la scène dans l’écriture de ses comédies. Nous avons ensuite, dans les deuxième et troisième parties, orienté notre étude sur les choix effectués, à partir du milieu des années 80 – c’est-à-dire après la mort de l’auteur –, par les metteurs en scène et comédiens, lors du passage du texte à la scène. Notre deuxième partie porte sur une première approche intéressante des comédies du dramaturge : interpréter le texte – à savoir les didascalies et le dialogue –, en proposant un jeu personnel et en pensant différemment la psychologie des personnages et le décor. Notre troisième partie met en lumière les interprétations novatrices des metteurs en scène et comédiens qui osent remanier l’écriture et/ou la structure dramaturgiques de l’oeuvre d’Eduardo De Filippo. / Eduardo De Filippo is a Neapolitan man of the theatre who went through the whole of the twentieth century, endowed with mutually enriching skills : he was a playwright, actor and director all rolled into one, he also managed his own company and his own theatre, the San Ferdinando. In that context, directors were impressed, even inhibited by so much involvement, but also by a work of universal impact, always on the borderline between comedy and tragedy. This dissertation aims to investigate the reasons of such fears and endeavours to explore the different ways of facing the Neapolitan master’s plays. The first part is devoted to Eduardo De Filippo, presented as a complete artistic figure : it explains how, as a director, he stood back from his own texts and shows how he used the stage when writing his comedies. Then, the second and the third parts focuse on the choices made by the directors and actors from the middle of the eighties – once the playwright had passed away – , when they started to adapt his texts for the stage. The second part consists in analysing a first interesting approach of Eduardo De Filippo’s comedies : how to interpret the text – that is to say the stage directions and the dialogue – by adopting a personal acting and by rethinking the psychology of the characters as well as stage setting. Our third part highlights the new interpretations of the directors and actors who dare to modify the writing and/or the dramatic art structure of Eduardo De Filippo’s work. / Eduardo De Filippo, uomo di teatro napoletano che ha attraversato quasi tutto il Novecento, possedeva molte competenze che s'influenzavano reciprocamente: drammaturgo, attore e regista, dirigeva anche la sua compagnia ed il suo teatro, il San Ferdinando. In questo contesto, i registi si sono trovati impressionati, anzi inibiti, per questo investimento molteplice ma anche per un’opera di portata universale, sempre in bilico tra il comico ed il tragico. La nostra ricerca mira a capire le ragioni di questo timore ed esaminare i vari modi di affrontare i lavori teatrali del maestro napoletano. Nella nostra prima parte dedicata a Eduardo De Filippo, abbiamo fatto emergere la figura di un artista completo e abbiamo provato a mettere in rilievo la distanza che il regista prendeva di fronte ai suoi testi nonché il ruolo svolto dalla scena nella scrittura delle sue commedie. Nella seconda e la terza parte, abbiamo poi orientato il nostro studio sulle scelte effettuate, a partire dalla metà degli anni 80 – ossia dopo la morte dell'autore –, dai registi e attori, in occasione del passaggio del testo alla scena. La nostra seconda parte riguarda un primo approccio interessante delle commedie del drammaturgo: interpretare il testo – cioè le didascalie ed il dialogo –, proponendo una recitazione personale e pensando differentemente la psicologia dei personaggi e lo scenario. La nostra terza parte mette in luce le interpretazioni innovative dei registi ed attori che osano rimaneggiare la scrittura e/o la struttura drammaturgica dell'opera di Eduardo De Filippo.
