Georg Büchner - Woyzeck
Galluzzo, Elisa ; KOUBSKÁ, Vlasta (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
This master thesis of scenography is a study on the play Woyzeck written in 1836 by
the German author Georg Büchner. My intention is to examine how the engaging
story of a drama written in the 19th century, set into a military background, can be
reinterpreted today in our society. The aim of my researches is the elaboration of a
contemporary mise en scène of the play set into an ideological factory as the ideal
scenario for the developing of the dramatic situations of Woyzeck.
My final scenography proposal for the drama is a site-specific project in the Prada
Foundation of Milan; an ex-factory of an Italian distillery society, now turned in one of
the main art centres of the city.
I am starting the thesis with a research about the historical background of the play
through a short biography of the author. In this part, I am aiming to explain how the
social context, the relationship with his family and a few of actual events happened at
the time of Büchner, have inspired him to write, perhaps, his greatest work. I continue
by writing an analysis of the dramaturgical structure of the text, of the main themes
and situations within the play and the characters. I am highlighting the themes of the
play that in the 21th century are extremely contemporary. In parallel, I analyse how
the characters behave in different dramatic situations and precisely I try to reveal
their real way of being instead of what appear only on the surfaces.
Moreover, I write about a few of the greatest reinterpretations of the play that
supported my studies and researches. Here, I mainly focus on the directing and
dramaturgical aspects of each production that enriched my vision of the play helping
me to develop my final version.
The last part of my thesis is about my own reinterpretation of Woyzeck. I am
explaining which are the aspects and the themes of the play that I find still very
connected with our society. I write about my creative process and about how exactly
my research led to the final proposal of the comparison between the military system,
of two centuries ago, and the factory system of today. Afterward, I take in exam a few
of the artworks that encouraged over my personal reinterpretation of directing and
dramaturgical aspects. I write about how elements from these artworks inspired me
concretely for the realization of my final work. Finally, I explain in details the directing
and dramaturgical choices for the disposition of the storyboard as the final result of
my personal research.

Turkish interpretation for the scenography of this genre. Specifically, this thesis deals
with the play Leaving by Vaclav Havel I’m explaining and looking closely at selected
elements of absurdist drama which inspired Havel and this play in particular, and has
also determined my way of thinking. My goal is to find the inspiration and the processes
that have influenced my studies at DAMU and culminated in my final diploma work. The
aim is to understand the dramaturgic composition of the vısual elements that need to be
present on stage through the proposed scenography and costume design.

Straková, Anežka ; DAVID, Milan (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
The topic of my bachelor’s thesis is From the House of Dead. It is the last opera written by well-known czech composer, Leos Janacek. During one semester
I have analysed and researched this composition, to look for forms and principles, which could be used in potential realisation. The aim of my work was to find an complete scenographic solution for this opera. As a result I am presenting you my suggestions, plans and steps of the whole working process.
I am glad to bring you closer to Janacek’s composition and my interpretation of his opus.
At first, I would shortly describe Leos Janacek’s life, his works and attitude towards Russian culture. Then, I will continue with an introduction of writer
F. M. Dostojevskij, whose novel The House of the Dead has become an model for Janacek’s opera. I will also talk about the opera’s topic, which is slightly atypical for this kind of work, and present some realisations from his death till now.
In the end I will describe my own concept as costumes and set designs.

This master's thesis deals with the play Don Carlos by Friedrich Schiller. It tries to capture all the inspirational sources that preceded the forming of the resulting concept. These are not only historical sources, offering a different view on characters and events, but also other sources that have gradually led to an understanding of the overall atmosphere. There’s also an analysis of plays that offer different views on the subject. The second half of the thesis is devoted solely to my own concept and inspirations to individual characters. It includes an analysis of the key moments of selected situations, and characters contained in five acts. The final part deals with the analysis of all the characters and the presentation of a concrete solution for their costumes. In the pictorial annex, these solutions are presented in the form of the sketches.

Giuseppe Verdi: "Don Carlos" - opera complex scenographic project
Heřmánková, Lucie ; DAVID, Milan (advisor) ; TEMPÍR, Nikola (referee)
This bachelor’s thesis aims to find complex scenographic solution of Don Carlos opera composed by Italian author Giuseppe Verdi. Apart from my own creative solution I also present theoretical chapters of authors biography, relation to his work and I compare several Don Carlos productions by Josef Jelínek who designed six unique costume variations.
During process of making the set design I came up with lots of topics to think about. I chose freedom as main topic by studying past productions, libretto and musical part. This topic is one of the key elements of the creative solution and therefore I defined it further in part of this thesis. I am also looking for artistic ways that would be the most suitable and adequate for the opera, musical-dramatic genre, in which music could be more important than libretto. I am trying to find connections to contemporary society and keep the story up to date.

Max Frisch: Andorra
Trpković, Andrijana ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; TEMPÍR, Nikola (referee)
The writing of Max Frisch and especially Andorra is dealing with
compesation with past and attitude, with we are having towards history and
deeds that were done. If we are able of selfreflection not just as a nation,
but also in personal lifes. Another level of the story is is unconformity and
differency of a main character Andri. Frisch is writing about a land called
Andorra, but reader cannot avoid similarity with his birthland Switzerland,
as I clearly see the resemblance in ,,greatness" of Czech republic. This work
is nothing but reflection of todays situation in society and its direction, as
well as direction of Theater (the actor and spectator of today, relationship
between them, pretending vs. authenticity) and culture in our country as
well as in german speaking countries.
