The Island as Theatre Discourse
摘要
The following chapter outlines an approach to the adaptation of The Island that structures the performance as simultaneous moments of tension. Tension is not expressed in dramatic action but stems from the characters’ existential anguish. The aim of this chapter is not to provide a detailed and final proposal for the performance but to test the possibilities of applying the theoretical concepts and theories discussed earlier. Specifically, I will explore how predications shape the stage configurations of the performance.
