Symbol and physical theatre
Votočková, Kateřina ; SOPROVÁ, Jana (advisor) ; BENČIK, Juraj (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to survey the connections among basic concepts like symbol, archetype, story in connection with their use in physical theatre. The symbol itself is more visual than verbal and therefore it works as one of the basic elements of the physical theater production. By defining common definitions seen in the wider context associated with the concepts of physical theater – whether it's mimésis, sign, symbol or archetype – the thesis aims towards the essence of the nonverbal dramatic works, namely the plot and the story. I link overall conclusions of researched terms and practical production concept on example of project Uroboros by Barbora Debnárová.

This thesis examines life and work of Czech actress Dagmar Bláhová (aka Dasha Blaha or Dasa Blahova) focusing on her specialization in pantomimic clownery. The first part draws attention to personalities of directors and actors who determined her artistic career and style, especially to her cooperation with Boleslav Polívka. During that time, Bláhová created a distinctive type of a female clown and thus put herself among first women within Czech theatre history who broke into a rather male domain of clownery. The second part is about life and work of Russian poetess Marina Cvetajeva whom Bláhová referred to as a source of inspiration for creating and staging of a drama called Marina ? Way to the End. Tha last part discusses a theatre company of the Intime Theatre which was founded by Bláhová. The part focuses especially on a controversial play The Vagina Monologues which was firstly introduced to Czech audience by Bláhová who thus joined artists who support the V-Day global activist movement.
