Abstract

Marius von Mayenburg's "The Ugly One" seems to take lookism as the main theme, but it is about the loss of human identity due to the evils of capitalism. The play is a "Post-Epic Theater" which is expanded from Brecht's Epic Theater technique. Although Post-Epic Theater is a new theatrical style that has been set in order to overcome the limitations of “Post-drama”, the concept of Post-Epic Theater has not yet been widely studied in the domestic theater except only some theoretical researches being done by some scholars in Korea. Thus, this thesis aims to focus on a practical producing process of the character crea- tion and acting approaches which are applicable to the stage formation work of Post-Epic Theater through the "Lette" study of "The Ugly One". For the purposes, the theoretical researches on Post-Epic Theater was preceded, and three Post-Epic Theater characteristics were derived from "The Ugly Man". As its character- istics, firstly encouraging active intervention of the audience through fragmented scene composition of il- lustrated structure. Secondly, inducing the creation of meaning for the audience by the role playing. Thirdly, creating a distance between the stage and the audience which assimilates the social phenomenon by unrealistic ones. Accordingly, the researcher developed an analysis framework called 1. "Simulacre of Damaged Desire" and 2. "Lette's Capitalist Habitus" to actively communicate with the audience on social is- sues using Brecht's "Gestus" to promote the emergence of the audience. However, a physical acting meth- odology was required to build the creative physical Gestus. Therefore, the "Effort" element of Rudolf von Laban, which can release emotional energy by physical movement, was introduced to shape Lette's Gestus and to physically represent its social meaning. The following acting approaches were suggested to produce Gestus by analyzing the Habitus of Lette who walked into simulacratic capitalism by himself, and to create audience’s alienation effect in order to make them interact with the actors and achieve the performative transition which cause their own individual meanings. I would like to verify its effectiveness in the practical process: First, 'immediate conversion of Gestus through reconstruction of text'. Second, 'enhancement of class conflicts through visualization of ex-formalized Gestus'. Third, 'inducing performative transition of audiences through expansion of Gestus‘. Ultimately, the purpose of this study is to seek acting method- ologies that can encourage the audience critically recognize social meaning through the interaction be- tween the actors and them based on practical/theoretical basis of Post-Epic Theater.
