    The following thesis focuses on how humour is used in the selected performances to evoke and influence audience and performer’s self-reflection. The theoretical part of my thesis is based on the existing research of humour made by authors such as Aristotle, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, Jean-Paul, and Ivan Vyskocil. The practical part of my thesis applies the findings from the theoretical part on particular theater plays of Aristophanes, William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett, and a film by Bong Joon-Ho. The outcome of my research will underline how humour emphasizes the core self-reflective message focused on analysing society and human nature depicted in the selected performances. In the last part of my thesis, I analyse interviews given by students at DAMU KATaP, where they speak about their experience of how humour, which was incorporated in their authorial performances, enabled them to self-reflect. The thesis is finished by providing a conclusion about the role of humour in performance and its influence on audience and performer.
  • Play by My Rules
    Telang, Meghana
    (Akademie múzických umění v Praze.Divadelní fakulta, 2021)
    Datum obhajoby: 2021-01-27
    In the summer of 2019, I premiered an authorial presentation entitled ‘Plan B/C/D/E’, an hour-long interactive show about the imminent drowning of my home in Mumbai, brought on by the climate crisis. This auto-ethnographical thesis is a reflection on the creation and presentation of that piece. In particular, the aim of the thesis is to focus on the relationship between the audience and myself, the performer. I investigate the strategies I used to provoke and/or invite audience interaction, as also the strategies required for me to control the same. Though there is a pretence of openness and equality, through my reflections I realise that the performance and the interaction are both rather limited for the audience. The audience’s input is integral to the continuation and success of the show, yet the audience is treated more as material for the Text, rather than equal collaborators in this endeavour. In particular, I use the lens of performance-as-game or play, to understand the processes by which the audience is invited and restricted in their participation.
