The Empty Space, written by Peter Brook, has a prominent influence on the modern western theatre. The concept of ‘the empty space’ makes the most of its points in the innovative performance based on the traditional forms. In The Tragedy of Hamlet, directed by Brook, the stage is not designed in a conventional and complicated way but with only a simple carpet, which practices the concept of ‘the empty space’. Affected by The Tragedy of Hamlet, Lu Po-Shen puts a focus on a sofa which plays the main blocking during the stage buildup in his work Hamlet. The two performances present very different styles while they similarly emphasize the unrestrained space. This essay attempts to discuss the space in the two performances, Hamlet’s monologues and other theatre syntaxes, based on the theory from The Empty Space, in order to understand the two directors’ aesthetics. |
