| description | This study examines the character of ‘Hedwig’ in the musical play Hedwig and the Angry Inch, written by John Cameron Mitchell, using the historical concept and typology of the jester, with a special focus on performers’ perspectives. First, the study focuses on the historical origin of the concept of jester and its development over various historical periods. Afterward, the character of Hedwig is analysed from a historical perspective to determine which kinds of jester concept Hedwig might correspond to today. Evaluating the position of the character and her lines in the play was significant in this determination. The study concludes with an assessment of the qualitative evaluation method. The findings of this examination will present a new perspective to researchers and actors to evaluate the character of Hedwig through the concept and typology of the jester. |
