Summary: | Travesties is a refined comedy, written by one of the best and most important modern playwrights, Tom Stoppard. it was published in 1974 and counts as one of major works of the english author, born in Czechoslovakia. It brings together three important historical figures: modernist James Joyce, dadaist Tristan Tzara and revolutionist Lenin. These three are brought togeteher by main character, Henry Carr with his imagination and confused memories. By carefully studying the play and seeking inspiration in the visually attractive dadaist movement, I have elaborated my own interpretation of the work and a concept for scenography and costumes design for each character of Travesties.
