dcterms.abstractRichard Foreman’s Lava (1989) is chosen to be studied in terms of stream of consciousness as one of the representative plays of Ontological-Hysteric Theatre. Given the nature of stream of consciousness, continuation of experiences, this play is analyzed through its manifestation process itself. The stream of consciousness is found to consist of three main features; Fragmentation, Mismatch, and Rituality. These features are not only belong to Richard Foreman’s Lava but also have been descended and regarded as the main characteristics of avant-garde theaters. This study relates the manifestation of stream of consciousness in Lava with the avant-gardism. It pursues to discover a sequence in the manifestation of the stream of consciousness and derive certain kinds of modules from the repetitive patterns found in the sequence. The analysis of these modules extends the study to find the significance of Richard Foreman’s stream of consciousness in regard to the context of the avant-garde theaters. So, the thesis explores from the history of the avant-garde theaters to Richard Foreman’s Lava, including the previous Ontological-Hysteric Theatre plays with the perspective of the Richard Foreman’s unique styles of staging as one of the representative avant-garde theater artists. The deep exploration of Lava’s form and its interpretation ultimately illuminate the correlation between Richard Foreman’s Lava and the avant-garde theaters.
