From Word to Image: The Issue of Language in a Play in which Language Is Thematized
Mašková, Barbora ; HANČIL, Jan (advisor) ; KORČÁK, Jakub (referee)
The following BA thesis’ primary concern is the process of creating a production of David Harrower’s play Knives in Hens, a play in which language seems to become an active agent, who controls and affects the minds and deeds of the protagonists to a high extent.
After a brief overview of theoretical thought from the school of structuralism regarding the connections between dramatic text and performance, the thesis proceeds to the notion of intertextuality and via that to the person who coined it – Julia Kristeva. In Kristeva’s view a text is formed by two elements: geno-text and feno-text. These terms are further explored and applied on Knives in Hens.
In the more practical section of the text, a dramaturgical analysis of the play occurs, exploring the function of language (with a particular regard to the linguistic paradigm), archetypes and Scottish heritage in the text. That is followed by a brief insight into the problematic of translation of a text as difficult and dense as Knives in Hens, analysis of key symbols and their representation in the production and overall scenographic concept. The last sections are then concerned with the process of rehearsing and finalizing the production, including the selection of music.
