Moters įvaizdžio slinktys postmoderniame Lietuvos teatre

Abstract

The aim of this essay is to show how woman's image change in the real Lithuanian society and theatre. The subject of this research consists of the analysis of the following three performances: "Helda Gabler" by Henrik Ibsen (staged in 1998), "Portia Coughlan" by Irish dramatist Marina Carr (2002) and "4.48 Psychosis" written by British dramatist Sarah Kane (2004). The analysis consists not only of a demonstration how female characters are influenced by the context of the play and by the confrontation with the postmodern realty. It is also a demonstration of how modern actresses create these characters, how the language is influenced by actual aesthetics. "Portia Coughlan" and "4.48 Psychosis" deal not with social reality but with transcendental experiences. Women are more concerned with the sence of duality in their life, with the sence of living at the wrong time on this Earth
