The paper is the attempt to compare the text of Daniil Kharms Yelisaveta Bam and her free theatrical production made in Rozrywka Theatre by Łukasz Czaja. The author considers similarities of the text and scenography, reflecting not only Charms’ assumptions but also producer’s stage concepts of The Great Reform of the Theater. The author also points out differences making a show out of Charms’ performance, closer to modern viewer, however, leveling the signs and atmosphere of the times when Charms’ drama was created.

This paper reflects upon staging Hamlet in Slovakia from 1950 to 2004. The five selected productions brought seemingly different designs of the theatrical space. And yet in four of them, there were many similarities in terms of mimetic understanding of the space. There was only one, nearly unnoticed production in the Rusyn language (2004) building a completely different space: based upon sophisticated visual principles derived from Spanish and Dutch Golden Age paintings, inviting the audience to read Hamlet as a contemplation on a highly performative society.

One of the dramatic ekphrasis forms is the ekphrasis of stage design. It describes what is usually made visible, at least partially, to the public, drawing its attention to important elements of scenography that played a significant role in the performance. Therefore it was necessary to make the spectators aware of those elements. They were used by all three tragedians: Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. The article focuses on selected ekphrases of scenography taken from three Euripidean tragedies: Iphigenia in Tauris, Ion, Alcestis, and on their role in the structure of drama.

The study provides detailed analysis of the work of Czechoslovak theoretician of scenography, Vladimír Jindra (1920–1979). It focuses on Jindra's at the time innovative taxonomy of scenography which substantially supported the shift in today's worldwide understanding of the notion of scenography as a complex theatrical discipline. The aim of the study is to connect Jindra's work with contemporary theoretical approaches to theatre, especially rooted in multimodal and cognitive analysis of scenography. Special attention is given to the elements of Jindra's work that predated Multimodal Metaphor Theory. The study shows that his conception of scenography is connected to the structuralists' understanding of the socalled 'stage metaphor'. This exploration should therefore show the reader not only the progressiveness of Jindra's thinking about scenography, but also outline a view on possible future research in the field of multimodal and cognitive approaches to theatrical scenography.

Scenography as a domain of artistic activity has always been a liminal art, placed between the visual arts and theater, with the latter being treated as a chiefly literary domain. The history of scenography to date has recorded two moments when it rose to prominence, becoming the “queen” of the spectacle: the Renaissance and modern times. The article will briefly discuss its history, to show the main reasons for the exclusion of scenography from the domain of academic research. The author will survey some recent publications on set design written by practitioners and academics.
PL
Scenografia jako sfera działań artystycznych była i jest sztuką pogranicza. Sytuowano ją zawsze pomiędzy sztukami plastycznymi, a teatrem, traktowanym jako obszar głównie zajmowany przez literaturę. W dotychczasowej historii scenografii widoczne są dwa momenty, kiedy za-władnęła ona widowiskiem, stając się „królową” przedstawienia: renesans i czasy współczes-ne. Artykuł poprzez skrótowe omówienie jej dziejów chce wykazać głównie przyczyny margi-nalizacji czy wręcz wyrzucenia scenografii ze sfery badań naukowych. Autorka odwołuje się do publikacji autorstwa zarówno praktyków, jak i naukowców, jakie ukazały się w ostatnim czasie na temat scenografii.

The article focuses on the stage designs of Antonín Heythum. Heythum's work during the interwar period is relatively well known and has been (somewhat incorrectly) aligned with Constructivist scenography. There are a number of materials for his designs for the Liberated Theatre (Osvobozené divadlo) (e.g. Circus Dandin, Když ženy něco slaví [When Women Celebrate]) and other Czech theatres (Olomouc, Ostrava, and others). We, however, have only scarce information about his work in the US, where he lived after 1939. The article discusses Heythum's war and post-war life and work paying special attention to the production of King Lear, an extraordinary stage experiment directed by Erwin Piscator in New York. The article also examines Heythum's pedagogical activities in the United States.

Set design in Bulgarian theatre history is a field full of questions. There is only one published piece of research which had the aim to cover the processes in to the scenography from the first professional theatre company (at the end of 19th century) until the mid 70's of the 20th century. The biggest problem in this study is the fact that it was written during the Communist regime, so it's hard to be taken as a solid base for contemporary analysis of the theatre situation. Nevertheless, as the only book about the history of set design in Bulgaria, even if it is full of ideological propaganda, it is still used by researchers as a reference. This article is a part of a bigger research project which has the aim of clarifying the process of development of Bulgarian scenography as well as the personal art styles of the different generations of set designers from a contemporary point of view. The crucial points integrated into the research are the political changes which start with the Communist coup in 1944 and completely transformed not only the socio-political life, but also the artistic one. The National Theatre was a scene of the unfolding of the most important and essential developments of theatre processes. Amongst these, the establishment of Socialist Realism was a milestone that marked the changing of aesthetics. Achieving it onstage both thematically and in each of the elements of a production became the task of and a challenge to the National Theatre. In this paper I will focus on several examples from theatre history to show how the standards of Socialist Realism have transformed set design aesthetics.

The essay examines Hungarian theatrical productions of Shakespeare's history plays in the post-1989 period, pointing out the paradoxical qualities of the genre that can make these plays at once distant and foreign to non-British audiences. Nevertheless, these dramas' representations of political conflict and power struggles may also explain their adaptability to local socio-historical and political contexts. After an overview of the stage history of the chronicle plays on Hungarian stages, including possible reasons given for the noticeable popularity of certain works over others, this article also reflects briefly on the new attitudes to Shakespearean translation since the post-1989 period. The final section focuses on three contemporary productions of Shakespearean history plays, comparing and contrasting the way they make use of the early modern practice of doubling. Ways in which textual strategies are employed as well as how casting and scenographic choices infuse the dramas with political interpretations rooted in the here and now of the performances are also considered.

Artykuł zwraca uwagę na problem z definicją pojęcia: scenografia. W dwudziestym wieku terminologia teatralna przeszła szereg zmian. Scenograf od lat sześćdziesiątych ubiegłego stulecia przestał być dekoratorem, osobą techniczną czy wręcz rzemieślnikiem a stał się artystą teatru. Obecnie scenografia stała się autonomiczną dziedziną sztuki, która obecna jest także poza sferą budynku teatralnego: w filmie, w marszach społecznych, politycznych wiecach, koncertach rokowych a także muzeach. Autorka pokazuje zmianę w podejściu do powszechnego rozumienia zadań i funkcji scenografii na przykładzie terminologii obecnej w słownikach językowych i teatralnych kultury anglosaskiej.
EN
The article draws attention to the problem with the definition of the concept: “sceno¬graphy.” In the twentieth century, theater terminology underwent a number of changes. In the 1960s, the stage designer ceased to be a decorator, member of technical staff or even a craftsman, and became a theater artist. Currently, stage design/scenography has become an autonomous field of art, present also outside the sphere of theater building: in film, at social demonstrations, political rallies, rock concerts and in museums. The author discusses a change in the approach to the common understanding of the tasks and functions of scenography on the example of the terminology present in the language and theater dictionaries of Anglo-Saxon culture.

Mimetic and non-mimetic aspects of space in the theatre : some reflections following Jindřich Honzl's "Dynamics of the sign in the theater"

Jindřich Honzl's seminal essay on the "Dynamics of the Sign in the Theater" from 1940 serves as the point of departure for discussing the borderline between the building (or site) where the performance event takes place and its mimetic dimensions, through which the scenography or scenery as well as the acting and all the other elements of a particular production create a specific fictional world, determined by plot, characters and circumstances. The basic issue I raise here is how and to what extent the semiotic coding of the stage and the auditorium, including its two- and three-dimensional semiotic modelling systems, which initially may seem to be a neutral, non-mimetic feature of such an event are profoundly connected to the fictional, mimetic aspects of a theatrical event, even determining what kind of action and characters can appear in such a space.

Josef Skupa was a leading avant-garde artist and puppet player with a background in visual arts and scenography. The article documents his life from his early cabaret experiments in Prague and his scenographic designs in Pilsen, through the innovative activities of his theatre company, to his international acclaim (which lasted from the late 1920s to the 1950s). The origin of Skupa’s famous puppet double act: Spejbl and Hurvínek is addressed, alongside an account of the development of the puppets as artefacts and as dramatic characters that defined a key era of Czech puppet theatre and established a style known throughout Europe as ‘The Skupa School’.

The study of the Scenography for Shakespearománie I.–III. [Shakespearomania Trilogy] directed by Peter Scherhaufer at the Goose on a String Theatre in Brno is an analytical and poetological profiling of the three productions created within the project called SHAKESPEAROMÁNIE [Shakespearomania Trilogy], directed by Peter Scherhaufer, one of the most regarded Czechoslovak directors of Slovak origin, who is also a co-founder of the Goose on a String Theatre in Brno. The said productions are: Veličenstva Blázni – SHAKESPEAROMÁNIE I (1988) [Their Majesties' Fools – Shakespearomania Trilogy I], Lidé Hamleti – SHAKESPEAROMÁNIE II (1990) [The Hamlet Humans – Shakespearomania Trilogy II] and Člověk Bouře – SHAKESPEAROMÁ- NIE III (1993) [The Tempest Man – Shakespearomania Trilogy III]. The emphasis is not only on the scope of dramatic language used in the plays, but also on the development of some of their production and scenographic characteristics in a pretextual situation, their reception, and partly their place within the context of Scherhaufer's work. Special attention is paid to the prehistory of spatial analysis of dramatic texts – a method, which P. Scherhaufer used when preparing the project. The stage design of the productions within the project is interpreted primarily from the standpoint of semiotics and pretext.

In 1937, Jiří Voskovec and Jan Werich wrote and staged the play Těžká Barbora [Heavy Barbara], which was inspired by the art of Pieter Brueghel the Elder and represents a unique experiment involving dramatisation and theatricalisation of his paintings. This article focuses on Alois Wachsman's scenography for this play and explores it in relation to Brueghel's paintings; the poetics and humour of Voskovec and Werich; trends and artists of the period; Wachsman's scenography for the National Theatre; and his paintings. The study brings attention to the previously unknown fact that Wachsman created two different versions of the set design for Heavy Barbara. Both versions alluded to Brueghel; however, one was inspired by Surrealism/ Wachsman's imaginative painting, while the other accentuated the folk atmosphere of the play through its use of New Realism and New Objectivity.

This article explores the extant artefacts of Vlastislav Hofman's design process for Karel Hillar's 1926 production of Hamlet. Virtual reconstructive practice has been used to explore Hofman's intentions and process in the development of his visual ideas. This exploration, supported by an analysis of Hofman's critical texts, provides insights into Hofman's developing visual ideas, both in respect of this production and in respect of his wider approach and attitudes to stage space, which might be broadly termed 'Cubist' or 'Expressionist'. A comparison of two distinct scenic styles in this production suggests that Hofman was developing a functional (or in Bourriard's terms, relational) approach to aesthetics which acknowledged the productive role of the audience and invited modes of viewing in which the choice of aesthetic constituted an invitation to dialogue. In this way, we see Hofman developing a scenography that not only 'means' but also invites a discussion of that meaning.

The article is devoted to the use of a feature film with reference to the practice of Polish language teaching at the middle school level. Starting with a detailed reconstruction of the attitudes of the characters, going through the analysis of the film means of expression, the author embeds the movie Pora umierać (Time to Die) by Dorota Kędzierzawska (2007) in the axiological context, in the circle of harsh reflections related to the death and old age. The analysis is complemented by the presentation of some specific methodological solutions and visualization of the issues raised in the film in the form of tables and graphs.

A technical and contextual analysis of scenography through sculptural reproduction : Hofman and Tröster's Hamlets

Vlastislav Hofman's Hamlet at the National Theatre in 1926 and František Tröster's Hamlet at the Vinohrady Theatre in 1941 are undeniably different interpretations of one of Shakespeare's superlative plays. They are notable as works that illustrate a slight change in aesthetic for the designers, with Hofman moving away from his roots in Czech Cubism and Tröster showing his mastery of staging while letting the scenery take on an ethereal, minimal quality. My research has focused on recreating the sets to scale in a format that can be viewed in a gallery setting. This paper seeks to frame each example in its historical context, give an account of the transition from initial rendered ideas to what ended up on the stage, and document the process of constructing the models with a focus on permanence and attracting the interest of gallery-goers while staying true to the scenographer's work.

The paper is an introduction to the analytical study of the total theatrical oeuvre of Elżbieta Wittlin Lipton – the daughter of eminent Polish novelist, essayist and translator – Józef Wittlin. Budzik gives an outline of Wittlin Lipton’s biography  by focusing especially on particular stages of her artistic education pursued both in the United States (New York and Chicago) and in Spain (Madrid). The article takes as its focus the selected theatrical scenographic and costume design projects which the artist has been creating since the late seventies of the 20th century onwards, for American and Spanish theatrical scenes. Further discussed are Spanish and Polish cultural and painterly backrounds which stamped their imprints on Wittlin Lipton’s artistic imagery and sensitivity. Budzik proposes that the notion of ‘motherland’ in the case of this emigré artist should be viewed on symbolically in terms of art broadly conceived.

Artykuł jest wstępem do analitycznego studium całości twórczości teatralnej Elżbiety Wittlin Lipton - córki wybitnego polskiego pisarza, eseisty i tłumacza - Józefa Wittlina. Autorka przedstawia zarys biografii Wittlin Lipton, koncentrując się na poszczególnych etapach jej edukacji artystycznej zarówno w Stanach Zjednoczonych (Nowy Jork i Chicago), jak iw Hiszpanii (Madryt). W artykule skupiono się na wybranych projektach scenograficznych i kostiumowych, które artystka tworzy od końca lat siedemdziesiątych XX wieku dla amerykańskiej i hiszpańskiej sceny teatralnej. W dalszej kolejności omawiane są hiszpańskie i polskie tła kulturowe i malarskie, które odcisnęły swoje piętno na artystycznym obrazie i wrażliwości Wittlin- Lipton. W kontekście przeprowadzonych analiz autorka tekstu proponuje, aby pojęcie „ojczyzny” w przypadku tego emigracyjnego artysty traktować symbolicznie w kategoriach szeroko rozumianej sztuki.

Stage costume is an element of a theatrical performance, as well as a specific attribute that can be used by an actor creating a role. It helps or hinders the stage artist in creating the character. Over the centuries and decades, its form and meaning have changed. The aim of this article is to present theatrical costumes designed by Luigi Sapelli, one of the greatest designers of stage costumes from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The description of the costumes is preceded by a sketch, briefly presenting the style of the theater of the Young Poland period and the rules of creating the artistic side of performances applied at that time. The costumes in question are part of the theater collection of the Museum of Krakow.

Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zaprezentowanie kostiumów teatralnych zaprojektowanych przez Luigiego Sapellego, jednego z największych projektantów strojów scenicznych z przełomu XIX i XX w. Opis kostiumów poprzedzi szkic, skrótowo przybliżający stylistykę teatru okresu Młodej Polski oraz obowiązujące wówczas zasady tworzenia strony plastycznej spektakli.

Present study comprises the function of visual elements of medieval sacred buildings in liturgical theatre productions. In the first part, the author defines the theatrical genre, outlining its connection to liturgy proper which itself has a striking theatrical quality. Based on a number of period texts, the author proves the tendencies to consider liturgy a kind of theatrical performance existed as early as the 9th century. As a consequence, the interiors of sacred buildings are considered stage designs for performances of liturgical theatre, and analysed as such, e. g. Benedictine abbey St. Fleury (France), the library of which hosts a manuscript of ten liturgical plays from 12th century, so-called Fleury Playbook. The plausible staging of these plays in the monastic church of St. Benedict is yet another reason to regard the church as a scenographic environment, as is argued in detail in the second part of the paper.

Předkládaná studie se zabývá funkcí vizuálních elementů uvnitř sakrálních středověkých budov během konání liturgického divadla. V první části autorka vymezuje druh této veřejné události, upozorňuje na jeho těsnou provázanost se samotnou liturgií a na její divadelní rozměr. Činí tak prostřednictvím různých historických textů, jež dokazují, že tendence přemýšlet o liturgii jako o performanci svého druhu existují již od 9. století. V návaznosti na tuto myšlenku pak pojímá interiéry sakrálních budov jako scénografická řešení liturgického divadla, tj. místa jeho konání. Příkladem je benediktinské opatství ve Fleury, v jehož klášterní knihovně byla nalezena sbírka deseti liturgických her z 12. století (tzv. Fleury Playbook). Zvážíme-li dobové inscenování těchto her v místním kostele Svatého Benedikta, je nasnadě jej v tomto kontextu chápat právě jako scénografické prostředí. Uvedený příklad proto tvoří jádro této studie a detailněji je rozebrán v její druhé části.
