Syllabus:

The interpretation of the dramatic text arises from careful reading and comprehension of the author's work. A component thereof is knowing the period context, characteristic features of the author and stylistic peculiarities of his/her writing. There follows motivic and structural analysis of the dramatic text leading to imagining of the ideal production that fully respects the author of the written text. Only then on this solid foundation does the process of interpretation begin - accentuating current themes in the text, shifts in the hierarchy of motifs, so that the work resonates as much as possible today. Interpretation climaxes with the creating of a dramaturgical/direction conception and finding appropriate means for its realization. Also arising from this is the literary adapatation of the text - cuts, omission of certain motifs or characters and scenes, linguistic revision of the translation etc. The whole process is finally reflected on and climaxes with consideration of various possible interpretations and their impact on the outcome of the production.
