초록

This study delves into the representational strategies of material feminist theatre(MFT). MFT criticizes that the representation of realism is deeply ingrained in patriarchal ideology in the project of suppressing women and replacing them with masks of patriarchal production. MFT, a critique of realist stage, creates a new kind of theatre to accuse and subvert the dominant phallocentric theatre. I apply MFT's Feminist ventures to the analysis of Caryl Churchill's plays-Cloud Nine, Venegar Tom. In her Plays, there are lots of examples that women's bodies are used as a tool for deconstructing dominant realist representation: alienating gender based in Brechtian Gestus. Staging women's bodies as cultural signs, Churchill's plays not only can dismantle the sexual ideology on woman's body carved by the representation of realism, but also allow audience to join the process of semiotization in the course of theatre reception. As a result, I conclude that MFT is entitled to be the alternative theatre that has the potential to dethrone the dominant realist theatre.

Abstract

This study delves into the representational strategies of material feminist theatre(MFT). MFT criticizes that the representation of realism is deeply ingrained in patriarchal ideology in the project of suppressing women and replacing them with masks of patriarchal production.
