中文摘要 本文探討1890年與1950年,女性當時的社會地位,進而影響到服裝發展與象徵意義,時代和女性自主性的追求自我,兩者間的關聯性;《床上的愛麗思》,創作劇場內寫實與非寫實的空間,虛幻與真實的氛圍,時代與非時代精神象徵意義,深刻的描繪維多利亞時代的女性,精神禁錮於現實,劇中愛麗思無法選擇也無法決定,她只能在想像與夢境中,不斷的移動身體,直到死神降臨。 以坎普 的美學來延伸討論,劇中低階的小偷,取代了富有家庭愛麗思的生存價值,貧窮、醜陋已超越美麗與女性的社會地位。 愛麗思只能透過心靈想像旅行和世界對談,受困於社會框架下的身體已經不再是重點,思考可以幫助她穿越任何阻礙,探索女性身心的疾病痛苦及女性追求自我的過程,藉由茶會和旅行,短暫拋開現實束縛,利用藥物換取短暫的自由;而劇中主角愛麗思,久病臥床的身體,無力改變當時社會和女性的現狀,如同真實人物愛麗思˙詹姆斯,患憂鬱症,受各種病痛折磨,久臥病榻,寫日記,多次 想結束自己的生命,最後死於癌症。 本劇服裝風格:1950年代與非寫實服裝混合,是一種坎普美學的形式表現。我刻意顛覆劇本中1890年代女性服裝風格:襯裙、蕾絲花邊裝飾,改用1950鮮明的顏色、條纹,簡潔的服裝線條。 導演對設計:呈現非寫實情境,不著重在桑塔格寫的1890年代場景,跨越和跳脫維多利亞式的舞台、服裝、燈光與多重身份演員的表演。 導演對演員:一人飾演2種或多種角色,愛麗思分身4種角色。 導演對觀眾:改變觀眾的觀看角度,非單一視角面對舞台,而是同時出現在劇場內各個角落,樓梯間等,不同時空的角色混合錯置呈現。 關鍵字: 《床上的愛麗思》、夢境、疾病、坎普
Abstract This thesis discusses the correlation between the social status of women in 1890-1950, which further affected the development, and symbolism of clothing, and their self-dependent pursuit. The play “Alice in Bed” creates real and unreal space, an illusory and real atmosphere, and a spiritually symbolic sense of the period and not of the period, which all profoundly depict the women in the Victoria era whose spirit is caged in reality. In the play Alice, has no way of making any choices or decisions, merely being able to move herself between imagination and dream until death arrives. To extend the discussion by way of Camp aesthetic, the low class thief replaces the survival value of Alice, who comes from a wealthy family. In this case, poverty and ugliness surpass the social status of beauty and family. Alice can only communicate with the world by travelling in her imagination. Her body, trapped within the frame of society, is no longer the focus; she is able to pass through any obstacle with the help of her thoughts, to explore the illness and suffering of the female body and mind as well as the process of her self-pursuit. Through the tea party and her travels, she briefly disentangles herself from the bondages of reality, using medicine in exchange for short-term freedom. The long-ill and bed-ridden Alice, lacking the strength to change society and the position of women within it, resembles in real life Alice James, who suffered from depression and various illnesses, kept her diary on her bed, tried to end her life several times and died of cancer at the very last. The style of costumes in the play is a mix of 1950s and unrealistic clothing which presents a version of Camp aesthetics. I intentionally replaced the original ladies’ dressing style of the 1890s, which is comprised of petticoats and lace decoration, with bright colors, stripes and concise trimming. The director on design: Presenting an unrealistic scene, the director puts less emphasis on the scenes written by Susan Sontag in the 1950s , jumping out of the Victorian staging, costumes lighting, and multi-character acting. On the actors: One person plays two or more characters, and Alice plays four roles. On the audience: By altering the viewing angles of the audience, so that not only one angle faces the stage, multiple characters appear simultaneously on the stage in each corner and stairway.
