Images of Violence in Complicite

Journal Title: Społeczeństwo. Edukacja. Język - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue

Abstract

In British theatre of the last three decades, we observe a significant shift from the more verbal, playwright-focused model of theatre whose meanings are determined primarily by the literary concept of drama to the one which exercises more profoundly artistic autonomy of theatre. Complicite is one of the leading theatre companies that are responsible for this shift. In the performances of Complicite, the theme of violence has been explored frequently. The whole variety of theatre devices were employed in depicting images of violence. The article discusses plays such as Mnemonic, The Street of Crocodiles, Measure for Measure and The Master and Margarita, A Disappearing Number, Shun-kin and The Encounter and mentions others.
