Let me show you!”1 Jean yells this at Julie as he gives a villainous laugh and tosses his ankle-length silk sleeves into the air. Jean rushes toward Julie, grabs what we now know is an imaginary bird from Julie’s hand and, facing the audience, violently wrings the bird’s neck, killing it. The bird still in his hand, Jean bends both legs into a deep squat, spins his arms like a jet propeller in a fanshen2 turn, and then bashes the bird’s body into the stage floor. Julie screams. Jean lets out a violent shout, whips his sleeves toward the floor and struts away offstage in a wide-legged swagger.3 1.

  • Dream and Life in Metamorphosis by Beijing Opera
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences (IJHSS) ISSN(P): 2319-393X; ISSN(E): 2319-3948 Vol. 4, Issue 3, Apr - May 2015, 9-14 © IASET DREAM AND LIFE IN METAMORPHOSIS BY BEIJING OPERA IRIS HSIN-CHUN TUAN Associate Professor, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu City, Taiwan ABSTRACT Theatre has historically served as a space of dreaming, a place of escape or a retreat, a reflection of reality, and simulacra of existence. From Strindberg ( The Dream Play ), to Chuang-Tze (who has building his nice dream in jail to die one night before to escape from beheading ordered by the bad emperor the next morning), to Shakespeare ( AMidsummer Night’s Dream ), to Calderón ( Life is a Dream ), to Wu Hsing-Kuo( Metamorphosis ) to any of hundreds more, playwrights and directors have used the stage to make the ethereal, metaphysical and philosophical visible. Wu, Artistic Director and Lead Actor of The Contemporary Legend Theatre , theatrically adapts Franz Kafka’s short fiction Die Verwanglung (The Metamorphosis ) in which the protagonist wakes up from his dream to find out in shock that he becomes a big insect, and represents this story viare the atricalization. Wu’s solo performance (in which he plays multiple roles) in the Edinburgh International Festival in summer 2013 received considerable critical acclaims, reviews and TV interviews. In Metamorphosis (National Theater, Taipei, Dec. 2013), Wustages this whole story about the metamorphosed big insect by spectacular costume, performing in Beijing Opera, to manifest the metaphysical existential pain and meaning of life. As Wu’s highly praised Kingdom of Desire (adapted from Macbeth ) and Lear Is Here (adapted from King Lear ), we look forward to how Wu’s new work Metamorphosis represents the desert if no compassion.

Abstract Depending on Linda Hutcheon's notion of adaptation as "a creative and interpretative act of appropriation" and David Lane's concept of the updated "context of the story world in which the characters are placed," this paper undertakes a critical examination of Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie (1995) as a creative rewrite of August Strindberg's Miss Julie (1888). The play appears to be both a faithful adaptation and appropriation of its model, reflecting "matches" for certain features of it and "mismatches" for others. So in spite of Marber's different language, his adjustment of the "temporal and spatial dimensions" of the original, and his several additions and omissions, he retains the same theme, characters, and—to a considerable extent, plot. To some extent, he manages to stick to his master's brand of Naturalism by retaining the special form of conflict upon which the action is based. In addition to its depiction of the failure of post-war class system, it shows strong relevancy to the spirit of the 1990s, both in its implicit critique of some aspects of feminism (especially its call for gender equality) and its bold address of the masculine concerns of that period.

  • Miss Julie by August Strindberg
    MTC Education Teachers’ Notes 2016 Miss Julie by August Strindberg – PART A – 16 April – 21 May Southbank Theatre, The Sumner Notes prepared by Meg Upton 1 Teachers’ Notes for Miss Julie PART A – CONTEXTS AND CONVERSATIONS Theatre can be defined as a performative art form, culturally situated, ephemeral and temporary in nature, presented to an audience in a particular time, particular cultural context and in a particular location – Anthony Jackson (2007). Because theatre is an ephemeral art form – here in one moment, gone in the next – and contemporary theatre making has become more complex, Part A of the Miss Julie Teachers’ Notes offers teachers and students a rich and detailed introduction to the play in order to prepare for seeing the MTC production – possibly only once. Welcome to our new two-part Teachers’ Notes. In this first part of the resource we offer you ways to think about the world of the play, playwright, structure, theatrical styles, stagecraft, contexts – historical, cultural, social, philosophical, and political, characters, and previous productions. These are prompts only. We encourage you to read the play – the original translation in the first instance and then the new adaptation when it is available on the first day of rehearsal. Just before the production opens in April, Part B of the education resource will be available, providing images, interviews, and detailed analysis questions that relate to the Unit 3 performance analysis task. Why are you studying Miss Julie? The extract below from the Theatre Studies Study Design is a reminder of the Key Knowledge required and the Key Skills you need to demonstrate in your analysis of the play.

  • A Fire in Her Mind: Medicine, Gender Identity, and Strindberg's Miss Julie
    A Fire in Her Mind: Medicine, Gender Identity, and Strindberg’s Miss Julie A Research Community Proposal for the LARC grant, Summer 2016 Jonathan Cole Monique Bourque Mary Rose Branick Will Forkin Victoria Mohtes-Chan Jesse Sanchez Community Proposal A Fire in Her Mind: Medicine, Gender Identity, and Strindberg’s Miss Julie This LARC group will examine some of the biggest questions that underlie modernity: the nature of human nature, the role of “the natural” and scientific/medical authority in dictating and defining normal behavior, particularly in regard to sexuality; and the emergence of psychiatry as one of the human sciences. These emerging scientific ideas found an immediate home in nineteenth-century experimental theatre. Theatre artists, tired of the contrived plotlines and moralist, one- dimensional characters of the Melodrama, began to turn to the emerging tenets of behaviorism, genetics, and Social Darwinism in order to bring experiments in human behavior to the stage. Led by European artists-thinkers like Emile Zola, Andre Antoine, Otto Brahm, Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, experimental theatre strove to create a theatre praxis that utilized the theatre as an experiment: a way to observe human behavior. This artistic movement, loosely organized under the mantle of “Naturalism,” birthed Strindberg’s greatest work, Miss Julie. While the play itself fails as a piece of Naturalist theatre, Strindberg’s obsession with the inner workings of the human mind, with behavior, with heredity, bloodline, sexuality and fealty/fidelity created in Jean and Julie two of the most fascinating characters in theatre literature. These characters are inexorably linked to Strindberg’s understanding of the science of the time.

  • Introduction "Preface" to Miss Julie (1893)
    Introduction August Strindberg (1849-1912) was a Swedish playwright. In his preface to Miss Julie, Strindberg speculates about bringing radical change to the theatre. "Preface" to Miss Julie (1893) As far as the scenery is concerned, I have borrowed from impressionistic painting its asymmetry, its quality of abruptness, and have thereby in my opinion strengthened the illusion. Because the whole room and all its contents are not shown, there is a chance to guess at things—that is, our imagination is stirred into complementing our vision. I have made a further gain in getting rid of those tiresome exits by means of doors, especially as stage doors are made of canvas and swing back and forth at the lightest touch. They are not even capable of expressing the anger of an irate pater familias who, on leaving his home after a poor dinner, slams the door behind him "so that it shakes the whole house." (On the stage the house sways.) I have also contented myself with a single setting, and for the double purpose of making the figures become parts of their surroundings, and of breaking with the tendency toward luxurious scenery. But having only a single setting, one may demand to have it real. Yet nothing is more difficult than to get a room that looks something like a room, although, the painter can easily enough produce waterfalls and flaming volcanoes. Let it go at canvas for the walls, but we might be done with the painting of shelves and kitchen utensils on the canvas. We have so much else on the stage that is conventional, and in which we are asked to believe, that we might at least be spared the too great effort of believing in painted pans and kettles.
