Abstract [en]

The purpose of investigation was to examine whether Satan´s democracy was an adaptation of The Master and Margarita. As a theoretical frame was used adaptation theory by Laera, Hutcheon and Babbage, Loman´s model for theatre performance analysis and the praxis of immersive theatre by Punchdrunk. The investigation was conducted as a comparative analysis of written and videotaped documentation and interviews of stage managers and actors. The results show that Satan´s democracy can be regarded as an intermedial transformation by temporal adaptation of The Master and Margarita to contemporary Swedish environment. A creative reinterpretation of the message about the individual´s impotence while facing superior political power is observed in Satan´s democracy. The geography and environment were reinterpreted by reshaping of space in a huge building that served entirely as stage and by use of art and music. Some characters were kept, some were recreated, some were created without distinct model in The Master and Margarita. Satan´s democracy was conducted as a collective theatre and art process of creation in distinct steps by almost 600 people during 2015- spring 2016. The production team applied and creatively developed immersive theatre form.
