The present artistic research thesis distinguishes and analyses a form of postdramatic theatre that is characterised by the dominance of music discourse which rejects the dramatic text or its coherency. The author refers to this form as postdramatic musical narration theatre<\/em> (further \u2013 PMNT). \u00a0It is emphasised that the author discusses a specific type of theatre which has arisen from the theatricalisation of musical events, where a wider music discourse gives rise to a new meaning of performance\u2019s musical score. PMNT is understood as the musicalisation of dramatic narrative or the creation of a new musical narrative\/discourse characteristic to postdramatic theatre. This research revealed that musical narration can be composed by a composer (using music notation or pre-prepared soundtracks), created during rehearsals, during the process of devising-communication with the help of actors\u2019\/musicians\u2019 vocal abilities, physical movement, gestures, changes of locations, special features of the space, as well as being influenced by other factors (like sound effects and media technologies) and audience\u2019s perception.<\/p>\n

The choice of this research object was determined not only by the formation of new theatre phenomena and music becoming an equally important element in the overall context of theatre, but also by the personal interests and professional creative work of the author. Because the research object analysed in this thesis is identical to the author\u2019s, as composer\u2019s, creative practice, the author\u2019s research represents both, theoretical and artistic\/practical sides and she, in the context of her research, acquires the role of a participative observer. Music is analysed using a narratological aspect, however, not in order to bring it closer to literature, but because of its pre-existent principles of narrational construction.\u00a0 The analysis is done in three stages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Distinguishing two categories of musical composing:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    • composing with the elements of sound;<\/li>\n
    • musicalisation of theatrical elements;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      1. These categories, in order to achieve a detailed analysis of composing methods according to the main devices and their attributes, are broken down into smaller groups;<\/li>\n
      2. Discussing the composing methods of narrative discourse on the music level (the analysis of practical examples).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
