Domain theatre and performing arts
  • lavastusliik, mille põhiliseks väljendus- ja mänguvahendiks on erinevad materjalid (nt liiv, savi, paber, vaha)
    Good to know
    • Materjaliteatri väljundiks on materjali(teatri)lavastus.
  • a type of performance in which different materials (e.g. sand, clay, paper, wax) are the main means of expression and play
  • When we speak of Material Theatre, we’re talking about instances in which material is used in such a way that it steps out of these usual submissive roles, discontented with always playing second fiddle to the performers.
materjaliteater
Usage examples
  • Puhtakujulist materjaliteatrit näitas Renaud Herbini lavastus “Vaha”. /… / Etendaja Justine Macadoux valab sulavaha paberile ning seejärel tõstab selle üles seinaks: kollane vahaplekk näeb välja nagu koll. Etendaja hakkab sellega humoorikalt mängima: lõikab välja inimfiguure, suhtleb vahaplekiga. /… / Lavastus uurib tõesti vaha kui materjali: kuidas see käitub, milline on selle olemus.
material theatre
Usage examples
  • Whereas in the theatre of objects the material is already developed, formed, identifiable (a cup, a bottle), in Materialtheater, the material does not yet have a destination; moreover, its shaping can take place during the course of the action, like for example, the large amount of buckwheat in Die Schöne und das Biest (Beauty and the Beast) by the Materialtheater Stuttgart. Even more than in the theatre of figures, the “actor”, or that which “acts” on stage, has no meaning outside the context of the performance.
