Art of Silence

Kao temu za svoj master rad predlaem Art of Silence, monodramu bez
teksta, ili mimodramu (kako je naziva sam Marso).
eleo bih da to bude autorski projekat, bez nekog dramskog predloka, u
kojem bih istraivao tiinu na sceni. ta ona nosi sa sobom, ime je
prouzrokovana, ta govori sama za sebe, koje asocijacije je mogue probuditi
kod gledaoca, da li je uopte mogue komunicirati sa publikom ne govorei
rei, sluei se samo gestom i svojim telom kao medijima. Marsel Marso je
svoju pantomimu nazivao art of silence tako da je naziv mog master rada u
principu Marsoov citat. Sluio bih se, kao polaznim premisama, sa jo par
Marsoovih scenskih citata kao to su etide Tvorac maski i Ruke, kao i
priom o Marsoovom scenskom alter egu pierolikom klovnu Bipu (knjiga
The Story of Bip Marsela Marsoa).
Sredstva kojima bih se sluio bi bila: pantomima, bespredmetna radnja, maska
i kontra-maska. Ovim sredstvima bih u praznom prostoru, u snopu svetla
pokuao da ispriam priu o ljudskoj usamljenosti, otuenosti i razlozima zato
ovek uti i povlai se u sebe, a sve inspirisano radom i ivotom Marsela
Marsoa, arlija aplina, aka Lekokaodnosno svih onih umetnika koji su se
sluili tiinom kao scenskim jezikom.
 Art of Silence

I apply for my master project with Art of Silence, a monodrama without

words, or mimodrama (as Marceau calls it).
I would like it to be an authors project, without any drama text template, in
which I would explore scenic silence. What does silence carries with it, what
causes it, does it speaks for itself, which associations can it make in audiences
imagination, is it possible not to say a word but still communicate with the
audience using only gesture and the actors body. Marcel Marceau named his
pantomime art of silence, so the title of my master project would be a
Marcels quote. As starting points, I would use few more of Marceaus scenic
quotes, such as The Mask Maker and The Hands, and story of Marceaus
scenic alter ego: Pierot-like clown Bip (The Story of Bip, a book by Marcel
Marceau).
Acting tools that I would use will be: pantomime, use of invisible props, mask
and contra-mask. With these tools, in an empty space, under one beam of light, I
would try to tell a story about human loneliness, alienation, reasons why and
when we are silent, why we clam up so often All of this would be inspired by
life and work of Marcel Marceau, Charlie Chaplin, Jacques Lecoq and other
artists who used silence as their scenic language.
