| Abstract |
Visual directing of stage design which realize diverse scenes within the particular environment of theatre is one of the most important aspects of narrative. This is especially true for musicals written for larger auditoriums. As the musical market continues to expand, development in visual medium is resulting in increased musicalization of contents based on televised dramas, movies, and web-toons. We now need to look for new ways to better convey the attributes of contents based on diverse media, into musical format. The new circumstance now requires us to look beyond simply the realistic and expressive design and encourage us to seek visual diversity. This research is a preliminary attempt to utilize a new method of visual syntax for set design, unlike any pre-existing methods. In order to achieve this purpose, this research observes the musical “The Sandglass” with the intent to look into its approach to visual methods, and to better understand the characteristics of the deconstruction of architectural aesthetics. This research aims to understand the deconstruction of architectural aesthetics which originates from philosophical deconstructionism, and to research the logic behind deconstructionist design and methods of expression. Next, this research analyses how the characteristics of each method of expression illustrates the set design purpose of each scenes in “The Sandglass”, and also examines the meaning of those scenes as well as how it affects the musical’s general narrative. Set design is different from architecture in that it serves a storytelling purpose. While this may limit ways for set design to change, I hope this research will serve as a continuous opportunity to attempt to apply new visual change even withing the limitations of set design. |
