Govor kot osrednje kompozicijsko in dramaturško sredstvo: Primer Milerjeve uprizoritve Susn

This article presents the process of developing actors’ speech expression in the performance of Susn (1993) by Herbert Achternbusch, directed by Eduard Miler and performed by the Slovenian Youth Theater. The study was based on an auditory and visual analysis of recorded performance, with an emphasis on observing the reduction of the text and the fragmentation of traditional language and speech concepts: decomposition at the textual (structural, content) and language and speech levels. In some instances, the findings are verified and supported by information obtained from an interview with Marinka Štern, one of the four actresses that portrayed the character Susn.
