In her article, Wenche Larsen presents a heterogeneous, dramaturgical model based on an understanding of dramaturgy as the theatrical shaping and composition of material and artistic components in space and time – according to aesthetic principles. There are three concepts that form the basis of the model: Aristotle’s concept of Mythos, Knut Ove Arntzen and Hans-Thies Lehmann’s concept of ‘visual dramaturgy’, and Erika Fischer-Lichtes’ concept of performativity According to Larsen, these concepts point to three, different understandings of theatrical action – verbal, visual and physical action respectively. Larsen argues that her model can be used as an analytical tool in order to identify the various types of action in a play, although the three types of action often are interwoven.
