Summary

Introduction

Perkembangan seni (baca: teater) tidak pernah lepas dari suatu ‘pemberontakan’. Sejarah mencatat bahwa sejak teater Yunani klasik sekitar 500 SM sampai era postmodern, perkembangan teater tidak pernah lepas dari pemberontakan estetis. Tema dapat disebut sebagai gagasan sentral dari persoalan yang akan diungkapkan untuk memberikan arah dan tujuan cerita (Dewojati, 2010:171) Perlu dipahami bahwa saat sutradara memilih naskah orang lain, maka hendak digali terlebih dahulu tema naskah sesuai atau tidak dengan tema yang akan digarap. Bisa saja sutradara hanya mengambil tema besar sebuah naskah yang sesuai dengan chaos untuk inspirasi membuat naskah baru, sehingga dapat tergali secara mendalam dramatisasi yang akan dicapai.
