In my work I am occupied with compiling creative costume designes and masks in dramatic space of Vaclav Havel´s version of Beggar´s Opera.
I am focusing on Vaclav Havel´s personality, as drama author, politician and author of Beggar´s Opera. I am comparing Vaclav Havel´s version of Begarr´s Opera with original of John Gay and I am comparing it also with the rest of Havelś plays.
In first part of my work I would like to show meaning of Havelś Beggar´s Opera and behaving of his characters, considering of that postmodern society today and worldś consumerism.
I persue behaving of society and ideas of postmodernism, consumerism and performance art in context toward consumer society.
In my text I am refering to evolution of society and significance of sexuality in mediaś world of consumer culture which is mainly directed by consorcium of worldś banks and multinational corporations, and where the society again is searching for itś own identity and humanity.
In my work, there are questions of many authors, whose works influenced me most, and above all, Vaclav Havel. In his work I was searching for series of questions concerning his play itself and behaving of itś dramatic characters.
In second part of my diploma work I am concerned with my design conception of Vaclav Havelś version of Beggar´s Opera design conception of theatrical space of a play and conception process of psychosocial signs in costume and mask of dramatic characters of Beggar´s Opera.
It was transfering dramatic theatre story of the form of ?travelling theatre? in surroundings of England and Bohemia of 21st century.
Plot of a play is taking part in several surroundings of London and Prague. Idea towards realization of Beggar´s Opera is me very close. Type of a contact theatre of Andrej Krob, Grossmanś or Scherhaufer´s regie conception of a play. The atmosphere of underworld, manipulation of individual characters in a play, their destructive conduct, I am showing in context of consumer society using coloured symbolic of agresive Pop ? Art colours and symolic grafitti.
Then in contrast I am showing the surroundings of a play raw spaces of old factory halls, subway and theatres.
I pay attention of colour symbolic, as well as graphical conception of a theatrical space. Iam persuing question of a actor in a space along with searching
a narrow contact with a viewer and a stage space.
I have chosen this theme because I myself feel occasional uncertainty concerning development of our society and isolation of contemporary man.
At the same time I like poetry of Havel´s plays and understand his style of spolken word. Answer to all laid questions and on next development of post-modern society I am myself finding in answers of Vaclav Havel´s book of con-versations with itś author Karel Hvížďala called ?Briefly Please?.
In this book Havel is searching identity of a man and society, and saving of moral values and humanity.
?All important actions of a real world ? beautiful as well as monstrous ? have their overture in the sphere of words?.
