Martin McDonagh: The Pillowman
Kuchařová, Mariana ; TEMPÍR, Nikola (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
In the second half of the twentieth century, the idea begins to emerge that modern times are overcome and postmodernism begins to form. This idea gradually expanded into architecture, literature, film and fine arts. We can find recurring principles when examining individual artistic categories. This diploma thesis deals with the search and naming of some of these postmodern principles and examines their potential use in stage design.

H. Ibsen:"Lady from the sea"
Hotmarová, Lenka ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
The thesis is based on scene designs for the play Lady from the sea. I focused on the concept of the game from the perspective of the actual playwright, Henrik Ibsen. To get a wider range of designs I decided to choose a modern staging by Robert Wilson and Luboš Hrůza. My goal was to accommodate the production as a source of inspiration and guidance on how to dispose the scene in my own design.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: TITUS ANDRONICUS Complex scenographic elaboration
Lippertová, Dominika ; DAVID, Milan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
This thesis is focused on scenographical treatment and conception of Shakespeare's play Titus Andronicus. Beside the historical and theoretical outline of the time of the play's creation, the thesis analyzes selected Czech and foreign productions of this play, with regard to its conceptional and graphic aspect. Furthermore, the thesis focuses on a complex analysis of the scenographic concept itself, and the graphic procedure as well. Thesis also marginally examines the central characters and the treatment of costumes.
The goal of this thesis is to approximate the graphic treatment of a specific play and to describe processes of searching for own and personal graphic procedure used. This thesis is not only a historical analysis; it is also a subjective view of the issue given, that is supposed to approximate the specific scenographic adaptation of the play to the reader.

B.Fosse, R. Asherwood: Cabaret - a complex stage design project for the Musical Theater in Karlin
Svoboda, Martin ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
The topic of my master's thesis is the musical Cabaret, written by the original writer of the book Berlin Stories by Christopher Isherwood. The Cabaret musical has been created through collaboration of John Kander (music), Fredd Ebb (lyrics) and Joe Masteroff (libretto). At the beginning of my thesis I mention history of the cabaret and its development. Then I try to explore the origin of the cabaret in Paris, its birthplace, and also in Germany and in Bohemia. Another topic is the history of the musical, its principles and operations. In the next part of my thesis I analyze theatrical terminology which is closely associated with the Cabaret. In the practical part, I solve questions of the musical's storyline; this part also includes solutions to every piece of the story-pictures and also my own custom concept of set design and a space. The thesis also includes inspirational materials that assisted me to find the final solution.

Georges Bizet - The complex scenographical project
Březinová, Dorota ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
The topic of my bachelor thesis is an opera of George Bizet Carmen and the scenographic solution. I describe my way to understanding the piece, the time of it's creation and the knowledge of historical facts. I also mention the relevant matters such as the history of corrida, flamenco, tradition of gypsy culture.
I tried to figure out the reasons why the opera succeeded although the initial failure and how it happened to be one of the most played opera piece up to the present. I was looking for the limits of mediocrity.
In the selected productions I focus on the public perception of the piece during the ages and I characterise the changes in the visual transformations and the contribution to the modern scenography. I compare art production in the leading opera houses: Royal Opera House Covent Garden (1989), La Scalla (2006) and Staatsoper Unter den Linden (2006). I also studied the Czech adaptation of Kolář a Tröster under the direction of Kašlík. I have asked myself whether restore and modernize the piece on every step. Finally I've decided for the update version and I consider it right.

Georges Bizet: Carmen - compex scenography project
Suchá, Klára ; GLOGR, Karel (advisor) ; DUŠEK, Jan (referee)
The thesis works out my complex scenographic solution of the George Bizet's opera Carmen. I examine the historical context of the epoch, a brief biography of Georges Bizet summarizes the facts that influenced the creation of the opera Carmen. And what were the initial responses to the first release, among those ranks as well a chapter on Friedrich Nietzsche and his perception of the musical scene in Europe. In the analysis of the world productions of Carmen, I focused on the current shows from Berlin, New York and Barcelona. In my sources of inspiration for my concept I present my essential experiences with the current visual perception, I also deal with the polemic of war and fashion environment in terms of photography. From these sources I indicate the stage and costume design, which is described and documented in gallery below.

Scenography of a musical theatre. Opera, composed by B. Martinu and G. Neveux, "Julietta" - a complex scenographic project
Brotánková, Anna ; DUŠEK, Jan (advisor) ; GLOGR, Karel (referee)
The goal of this thesis is to comparatively analyse, on theoretical level, Bohuslav Martinu?s manner of viewing musical work in connection with his scenical theatre pieces. Major focus is on composer?s notes and ponderings on then-common opera arrangements, and on the meaning of opera itself. The paper compares his style with contemporaneous tendencies of surrealistic avantgarde in scenography. Moreover, it addresses the portability of surrealistic principles onto stage, their dramatical potential, and different approach of leading czech representatives of surreal avantgarde towards this issue.
Second part of this thesis discusses and interprets opera Julietta (Snář / Dream Book), and investigates possibilities of its scenographic and costume arrangement.
