Wu, Yafei. "La réception en Chine du sentiment de l'absurde dans le théâtre d'Eugène Ionesco." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014AIXM3027.
Full textThe reception of Eugène Ionesco's theatre in China has witnessed several different periods since the 1960s. This thesis involves researching the reception from three principal forms: the critique, the staging, the Chinese dramatic creation under his influence. The study is begun from a recurring reflection in reception of 'the other' and constitution of 'the self'. The Chinese traditional and modern conception of 'the other' influence always the perception of heterogeneous cultures, while her evolution since the foundation of People's Republic of China has a profound effect on reception of occidental art and literature. From critique to consecration, the interpretation of Ionesco's theatre passed by the process of rejection, refusal, distinction and identification of 'the other'. Due to an incomplete lecture, it is focused on several key words and preconceived ideas, although his political conscience remains a 'blind point'. The practice scenic of Ionesco' theatre experienced two condensed periods. These creations which are not numerous convey already the particularities of 'sinicization' and the will to construct the Chinese own cultural identity. As for the Chinese dramatic creation, the appearance of the Chinese theatre of the absurd seems to attain the equilibrium in the wobble between two poles which are borrowing from 'the other' and return to 'the self'. Instead of referring to the whole occidental theatre of the absurd, but to Ionesco's theatre, this theatre demonstrates the similitude.The reception of Ionesco's theatre, a specific case of reception of the other's culture, retraces also the way of the cultural identity's re-establishment in contemporary China
Maruéjouls-Koch, Sophie. "Le "Théâtre plastique" de Tennessee Williams : du "langage de la vision" à "l'écriture organique." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LORR0331/document.
Full textWhen Tennessee Williams coined the phrase “plastic theater” in 1944, he described it as a language of “sounds, colors and movements,” a language freed from the limitations of words. His aim was to breathe new life into what he called “the exhausted theater of realistic conventions.” His ability to put the totality of theatrical experience into words manifests itself in the scripts of his plays. Williams is a creator of pictures, a playwright in the true sense of the word who found in painting and cinema the images he needed to elaborate his new language for the stage and move away from a “photographic likeness” he rejected because it was associated with realism. Gauguin, Van Gogh, De Chirico, Hofmann or Pollock are but a few of the many painters mentioned in his plays or essays who provided him with the means to enrich his vocabulary for the stage and lead his “plastic theater” toward “something more abstract.” But cinema also influenced him, giving him the opportunity to explore new possibilities and create a space between words and images where the elusive truth could be revealed. Images thus helped liberate Williams from the literary traditions as well as from the cultural codes that had defined and confined his writing from the very beginning. The writer who felt “wrapped up in literary style like the bandages of a mummy” found in images the subversive power he needed to express his true self and breathe life into words that he had always wanted to be “more than words.” From “the language of vision” to “organic writing,” Williams’s “plastic theater” evinces a desire for images
Lempereur, Nathalie. "Arthur Adamov, entre modernité et engagement : lieux, acteurs et réception d'un théâtre en politique." Thesis, Paris 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA010595.
Full textArthur Adamov (1908-1970) is a Jess studied figure of contemporary theatre. The social and cultural point of view that we adopt allows renewing interest for this unclassifiable and playwright. Initially linked to the "absurd", he shifted towards social and political theatre; meanwhile he was getting closer to the communist party. This thesis analyzes the evolution of his theatre that never freezes but reconfigures with the transformation of theatre, political and social backgrounds. We try to bring out the engaged intellectual and the list of his various actions that reached its peak between May 1958 cri sis and the end of the Algerian war. Adamov' s work reflects the society of his time; it has been encouraged, provoked enthusiasms as well as received hard critics. Sociability and legitimation instances reconfigure around his work: theatre hall directors, magazines, producers. The places when he has been played, in France - from avant-garde halls to the "red" suburb - or abroad, determines the particular geography of theaters opened to certain political dimension as well as to a new audience. The gap between the wished and real audience, as between theorized, imagined and practical theater, form other axes. Finally, this research provides information about the reception of Adamov's works, especially the impressions and sensibilities of his time. It's all about artistic and political utopia somehow buried which will arise in its collective dimension
Protin, Matthieu. "Pratique et poétique du drame : Beckett auteur-metteur en scène de son premier théâtre." Thesis, Paris 3, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA030171.
Full textWhile staging Warten auf Godot in 1975 at the Schiller Theater, Beckett says : « I knew nothing about theater when I wrote this. » The use of the past tense points out the fact that between the writing process and the staging process, something has been learnt. What he did ignore is theater as an artistic practice, as a performance. He will discover it progressively during the 1950’s and the 1960’s and eventually will become the director of his own plays. Our work aims at showing how this shift from desk to stage will lead him to rewrite them, carrying on the creative process directly from the theatre, and, in return, how his very conception of directing is shaped by the singularity of these plays. Far from considering stage directing as a mere execution of the stage directions, Beckett dramatizes and theatricalises his works. Thus, his very conception of theater evolves from an abstract vision, drama as it appears in a literary form, to very a practical one, transforming the very theatricality at stake in his plays. Stage directing and theatre writing are then offering a constant interface, which leads to the emergence of what may be called a theatrical creation in which practical standpoint and literary creation are linked together

Full textAt the end of the 1940s, a new theatrical avant-garde appears on the small stages of the Left Bank in Paris: the theatre of the “absurd”, as conceptualised by the British drama critic Martin Esslin. This innovative dramatic writing style succeeds in establishing itself with the French and international public, and enjoys a long-lasting success in West German theatres. This thesis aims at uncovering the process of cultural transfer and the modes of reception in the Federal Republic of Germany through the main representatives of this movement: Arthur Adamov, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet and Eugène Ionesco. Based on previously unpublished archival sources, this work retraces the path of the mediators of this cultural import, follows the chronology of the reception and highlights the diversity of the types of media used: theatre, radio and television. The individual steps through which the theatrical works were circulated in the West German theatre landscape between 1949 and 1989 will be analysed from the discovery by publishing houses via different translations, to major stage productions and finally the acceptance by the theatrical press and the general public. Thanks to its cosmopolitan nature, the theatre of the “absurd” was endowed by the West German host culture with an international dimension that contributed to its successful integration. Hence this study opens a new chapter in the history of Germany, its culture and theatre as well as, more widely, the French-German cultural relations
Street, Anna. "Comedy of the Impossible : The Power of Play in Post-war European Theatre." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040179.
Full textBy tracing the development of theories of comedy within Western philosophy, this thesis claims that anti-comic prejudices prevented comedy from being recognized as a serious genre. Comedy’s inferior status for over two thousand years is shown to correspond to an ethical model that distinguishes the real from the Ideal and affirms a Neo-Platonic vision of existence. Through numerous examples taken from a particular phenomenon of post-war European theatre comprising five different playwrights, this thesis proposes three primary characteristics of comedy: the ontological instability of comic characters, comedy’s paradoxical relation to the world of appearances, and comedy’s willingness to accommodate the impossible. By throwing binaries into question and promoting a complete reversal of dominant value systems, comedy blurs the lines of distinction between the abstract and the concrete, the mechanical and the organic and, ultimately, between life and death. Demonstrating how this reversal is accomplished linguistically, metaphorically, or dramaturgically, this study concludes that comedy subverts the socio-symbolic order that relies upon the logic of possibility

Full textThe poetic of absurd in the theatre of Jean Tardieu. Our study comprises three parts, each part contains two chapters. The first part entitled : l'absurde through the language of Jean Tardieu, tries to determine the objectif essence of its writing, they used tools and the processes of the absurd language, which is borrowed from the other absurd playwrights as well as the new processes of written, and of theatrical speech. The second part is the study of relationship between the language of Tardieu and its character. The absurd does it emanate of the character or of the language ? It is shown that the language is the pivot in absurdity of its theatre : this nonsense the language plays a part in the communication of subjectivity of Tardieu, the way it puts together or keeps it away from the linguist. What's influence exerts on the possibility of translating and the variety of the possible translations of its theatrical text
Lee, Yong-Seog. "Recherches sur le langage des gestes dans le théâtre de l'absurde : Samuel Beckett et Boris Vian." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040181.
Full textThe objective of this thesis is to reveal and analyze body language in Samuel Beckett and Boris Vian's absurd theater. The insurrection of body and motion language is one of the essential elements in their theater work. The abundance and precision of the body language in the Beckett and Vian characters, their functioning, esthetic and meaning constitute an object of study of considerable importance. Repetitive, fragmentary, serial, absurd, burlesque, derisive, tragic, comic, all their adjectives that describe the nature of Beckett and Vian's body language are the source from which the dramatic elaboration derives. The body language of Beckett and Vian, as an instrument of scenic creation, as a paradoxical unity and as a tragic and comic structure, is a source of esthetic and philosophical meaning
Magalhaes, Catherine. "Fantasie et Théâtre : l'univers de Terry Pratchett en scène." Caen, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013CAEN1709.
Full textIn this these, we tackle the links between fantasy, a genre with still fluctuating limits, and theatre, taking an interest in the adaptations of Terry Pratchett's novels to the stage. Terry Pratchett is a contemporary British author, famous for his longue series of fantasy novels, The Discworld Novels, consisting nowadays of more than forty books. His works were adapted several times to different supports: plays - for theatre and for radio - films, musicals, animated series and even video games. This study relies on the dramatizations, whose numerous and frequent stagings encourage the researcher to look into this phenomenon. Our analysis begins with the examination of the characteristics of this genre and of this particular a body of works, known for their humour, their high intertextuality and their satirical aspect. During the transformation from novels to plays, these works will need to take into account theatre conventions without losing their particularity. The process of adaptation appears to be a selective reading, an interpretation of the original works, but also a theatrical research and the construction of a atypical aesthetics

Full textThis thesis wants to restore jean vilar and his action to his proper place a highly important one, which he had long been denied. Indeed, such expressions as "theatre civique" and" theatre citoyen" had been banned, for the most part, from the french scene. Jean vilar's then georges wilson's experience-wilson was the tnp's boss after vilar's departure in 1963-of the steady rise and abrupt fall of the french popular theater from 1947 to 1972 - with the creation of his festival d'avignon in 1947 and his nomination as head of the theatre national populaire in 1951-is a very telling one. After ww2, all hopes of a cultural democratization - an official goal, stated in the preamble to the 1946 constitution-focused on avignon and later on the theatre national populaire. Because of their declared social ambition and their theatrical aesthetics, both of vilar's creations became symbols of a possible reconciliation, of a laic communion the resistance fighters had dreamed of. Twenty years later, in 1968, as the cultural policy of the 5th republic seemed to go at a good pace in the maisons de la culture, the young rebels who came to avignon rejected the idea of a popular theater, sneered at that of a "civil service theater", jeered at the myth of a cultural democratization and shouted out : "vilar, bejart, salazar". Studying this development is running through a few decades of a specifically french answer to the idea of a theater for the people. A concept which first appeared in france during the 1789 revolution, continued to raise difficulties throughout the 19th century, and more acutely during the dreyfus affair, to later feed all the theatrical quests of the 20th century. Studying this development also enables us to understand the current rise, in the french theater, of a demand for a type of theater fully integrated to the polis
Polloli, François. "Dimension de l'absurde dans les musiques de György Ligeti et de György Kurtág." Paris 8, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA082427.
Full textA certain conception of the absurd leads to interrogations, by means of musical analysis, on the meaning of those works by Ligeti and Kurtág which, through settings of Carroll’s or Kafka’s universe, are situated in the paradoxal ambiguity of the absurd. The question of heritage is central to these Hungarian composers marked by nazism and stalinism, and the numerous references which they make to musical tradition or to Bartók form a solid substratum in their respective writings. Their particular use of series and musical machines are witness to their freedom with regard to serial thinking, and their sense of rupture and revolt are expressed through the alterations which they inflict on citations or fossilized procedures. Yet, by their work at the frontiers of music (noise or language), they elaborate viable forms which open a potential path towards a new humanism in a society which, based on the pursuit of happiness, conceals pain

Full textClaude, Jean. "André Gide et le théâtre." Nancy 2, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990NAN21024.
Full textAn exhaustive survey of Gide’s activities related to the theatre shows how, within his literary career, a genuine dramatic career emerged and what attraction drama always exerted on him. Gide had an exacting conception of dramatic production, centered on the notion of 'characters', which to his mind were the only means of propounding new forms of heroism. While he attached great importance to the literary qualities of the dramatic text, he expressed much reluctance to submit to the constraints of the theatrical performance and found it difficult to comply with them in practice. His ideas throw light on his dramatic production, though there is no direct correlation between the two. These works, however diverse in form, are characterized by one original dramatic formula: a central figure embodying some of Gide’s own ideas in a forceful way, secondary characters to by understand only in relation to the central figure, an interiorized action, a disregard for adventures to the benefit of the inner necessity which guides heroes. In his dramatic works, as in his narratives, Gide experiments with potentials, lives experiences by proxy. The same moral, religious and political concerns are to be found in them. But the objectivities inherent in the dramatic form, and the embodiment of these values in heroes from the antiquity or biblicaltimes, tend to sever these concerns from the author, even though Gide cannot refrain from manifesting his presence through irony

Full textCovering the two last centuries of european literary history, this thesis deals with theatre and novel through their relationship from a historical and anti-essentialist point of view. Theoretical synthesis and study of problematical texts (by sade, ann radcliffe, alexandre duval, hugo, balzac, goncourt, zola, dostoievski, camus, duras, aragon and vitez) and theoretical works (by rousseau, mallarme and brecht), it tells and interprets the relationship between two genres which provides each other with more or less explicit borrowings concerning norms and forms (theatrical adaptation, dramatization of the novel, novelistic influences on theatre, brechtian epic theatre) theatre and novel continually define each other; it appears in many examples of + theatrality ; inside the novel or in the increasing fascination that novel inspires to theatre, in writing and on stage. Confronting former (by bakhtine, lukacs, szondi, barthes), recent (sarrazac) or personal concepts to the works under study, this thesis tends to show that theatre and novel overcome the different formal crisis they pass through only by accepting the part of the other within what allows them to evolve and, despite some resistances, to take part in the aesthetic and ideological building of modernity

Full textThe arab shadow theatre, a very popular art before the xixth century but unknown nowadays, is very rich in all artistic, historical and social aspects. It plays an important role in the arab cultural patrimony. Different thesis explained its origin. The diversity of its forms and designations has been a source of information on the litteral and artistic level. Throughout the different studies undertaken on the arab shadow theatre, the musical element has been left out. However, a comprehensive analysis would not be able to separate musical elements (mode, rythms) from the whole acoustic system (poetry, linguistic and music). On the other hand, the majority of the shadow texts are writen in either prosidic or rimy poetry. Consequently, it becomes crucial to analyse the different poetric forms of which the shadow texts consist, as well as their role and their structure which reveal the narrow relation between words and rythm. Finally, an egyptian shadow play "the light-house of alexandria" is presented in order to illustrate the richness of the shadow theatre in musical and poetric elements. The unpublished french translation and the comprehensive analysis of the poetric forms and different characters permit a better apprehension of the originality of the shadow theatre
Chamié, Rim. "Le rire paradoxal dans le théâtre d'Eugène Ionesco." Toulouse 2, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003TOU20024.
Full textLaughter is cornerstone of Ionesco's theatre. Its roots can be traced back to the works of Jarry, Kafka and the Surrealists. However, Ionesco's laughter has its own characteristics. It is a laughter that attempts to denude truth through comic travesty, through satire, but above all through modern humour that verges on the absurd, using for medium a new language characterized by a separation from the normal way of communication, by rupture between the significant and the signified. The play on words and the suppression of grammatical links allow the appearance of a senseless language, which evokes laughter. This humour is characterized by exposing character vices. Ionesco's creation are without character or identity; puppets moved by strings, shackled by the proliferation of matter, carrying in them the tragedy of human existence. Doubtless, Ionesco's laughter shows the pain and absurdity of human existence and to be liberated from it by laughter

Full textAfter cameroon became independant (1960) development was first considered by public authorities and elites as delayed growth that had to be caught up with through the imitation of the modes of production and consumption in the developed countries. The failure of such a mimetic approach has made a number of political leaders and thinkers aware of strong links existing between cultural and developmental problems. Some of them have devised new developmental strategies taking culture into account. Theatre can sensitise and awaken social consciousness and enable the people of cameroon to adopt new social standards and practices, integrating and furthering cultural values; more specifically it could help develop in every one a clear sense of a national consciousness and accelerate the process of national integration for all cameroonian ethnic groups. It would also contribute to a better mastery of of the development process which a global, endogenous and integrated one

Full textThe literary career of Mérimée does not begin with his first short stories. Since 1825, the Clara Gazul's theatre has been an important factor in the battle new playrights have fought to liberate the stage from the still strong presence of classical tragedy. His writing of theatre plays continued, albeit irregularly, throughout his life. This study is a plea for the recognition of this theatre and of his dramatical qualities. A lot of relationships, many theatral innovations, a real participation in the literary battles of the 1830ies predispose Mérimée to be interested in dramatical writing. The inventory of the works and their possible performances, the comparison beetween other contemporary creations, the observation of his theoretical texts, of the different forewords and of the public reception of this production, give an idea of this successful theatre in the 19th century and of his importance in the artistic creation of this time. The literary analysis of these plays, concerning the structure, the protagonists, the choice of the places and of the times, of the local colour and of the style confirms the extraordinary effectiveness of this underservedly neglected theatre

Full textThe 18th century historiography of French theatre opens with a series of ecclesiastical works which make this history an instrument against dance and theatre, though there are some sharp retorts. Beginning in 1730 several theatre histories appear. Authors such as Brumoy, Riccoboni, Maupoint and Beauchamps, who are mainly not scholars but often have ties to professionnal theatre, engage in research in both public and private libraries, using collections of wealthy theatre lovers as well as the medium of press and the erudition of private individuals. Fontenelle had opened the door with his History of French Theatre which served as a beacon for its sources, framework, literary style and above all his intelligent reading of the past, whitch ruptured the thread of those publications that were either for or against the theatre. Empowered, our historians organize their material according to known models : Renaissance bibliographies give them the matrix for lists of authors of plays. Previously unseen original material as well as extracts and analyses are published. They create a virtual history of drama and theatre. This history offers them a new space where they can reflect on cultural relevance regarding the relationship of dominant moral and religious values. The essays of academicians accompany this mouvement. Their disciples are journalists, encyclopaedists or 'literay bohemians'. Publications of almanachs and dictionaries which chronicle the history of the times multiply, amassing materiel that will be left to succeeding generations to sort out. Solicited by the misomimes, they invest their energy in reforming a theatre which for them is an engrossing utopia , a place where they sometimes display astonishing ingenuity. They are called Mouhy, Du Coudray, Rétif or Nougaret. With the passing of the century, Suard returns to Fontenelle's History of French Theatre, paving the way for Sainte-Beuve

Full textThe "thaw" starts in soviet theatre in 1952 with a renaissance of comedies and satires. With the openings on west and a restoration, though limited, of realisations accomplished in the twenties, comes a rehabilitation of some playwriters and directors. The reconstitution of cultural heritage is accompanied with a revision of values (criticism against the stanislavski's system). As opposed to the defenders of theatricality the founders of the theatre "sovremennik" prove the vitality of psychological realism. The need of a moral purification the whole society longs for, after the stalin period, shows itself through an axaltation of humanism. Playwriters won't play their role of omniscient leaders anymore. Some of them protest against lies in educational and social system. Directors choose plays without positive heroes but where ordinary people live their everyday life. From 1952 to 1964 a new generation of playwriters, directors, actors appears, socialist realism, through theatricality, admits a disjonction between reality and its image. A policy of persuasive rallying takes place of forceful enrolling between political authorities and artists. The "thaw" is a very useful period of rederence for those willing to implement the perestroika at the end of the eighties

They are analysed here in their structural and semiotic aspects. Through the study of the imaginary space, created by the author, through the acting of characters, and through the expressions used on stage, it seems that the poetical and suggestive aspects dominates the dramatic and narrative aspects. This poetry which emanates from the text, as well as from the various formes of art, appears in such caracteristic elements of indian drama as "abhinaya" and "mudra". Destinated to provoke the spectators' emotions as well as to instill a contemplative condition of a suggested world, this poetry is an invitation to venture into an imaginary world, where religion and its socio-cultural order and structure are attributed to order and beauty

Full textFringe theatre in great-britain can be distinguished from other kinds of current theatre - the national companies, commercial theatre and repertory theatre - from several points of view. Not only because its legal and work structures are specific, but also because its income, its expenses, its content and venues are characteristic, as are the people (practitioners and public) concerned with it. Set in the social, political and economic context of post-war britain, this form of theatre in fact belongs to a long tradition of a more popular parallel theatre which has always existed alongside the "legitimate theatre". Its economic problems however are particularly acute. Government subsidy systems and commercial sponsoring are examined in order to assess, eventually, the potential future of this archaic sector of post-industrial society. Reborn of the counter-culture movements of the 60s and 70s, it has been partly assimilated by mainstream society. Its survival seems to depend in part on how it is to be financed as well as on its own particular strengths
Blessios, Athanassios. "Le théâtre d'idées en Grèce de 1895 à 1922." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040179.
Full textOur thesis presents the evolution of the Greek "theater of ideas" during the period between 1895 and 1922. The meaning of this theater is the creation of a new social ethics, which is, in fact, a combination of traditional, civil and modern values, although the authors want, clearly or indirectly, to leave behind the civil values. Our first part concerns the examination of the militant theater plays concerning the political, social and national question and the women's emancipation. The theater women surpass the expectations of the feminist movement. However, they cannot surpass the civil ethics. The national preoccupations are in a modern direction, because they want to surpass the simple, manicheist (good-bad) direction of the Greek society. The social preoccupation represents the social structure and thought and its weakness, such as the lack of massive social movements, the authoritarism and the lack of real democracy, the utopian element. The second part follows the naturalistic preoccupations of the occidental thought and literature. The civil ethics prevails and in his positive meaning mainly characterizes the "theater of ideas"

Full textSince its origin, Tragedy has been one of the literary genres which have most clearly influenced the ideas of time that a civilization could have. Firstly, from a formai point of view, due to the Tact that the length of the story, which is being represented, must fit the time requirements of the duration of the play – i. E. The main issue of theoretical debates of XVI and XVII centuries regarding the dramatization of time in order to make the play vraisemblable. After the discovery of Aristotle's Poetics and the Italian commentaries on this text, the theoretical discussion has become extremely relevant, and the suggested solutions have played a major role in the creation of the masterpieces of the Elizabethan theatre, the Baroque Spanish theatre and the Classical French theatre. Certainly, the respect or not of the "Unit of time" nuances the conception of time that the play will spread. Consequently, studying the reasons and the methodology of the dramatization of time is essential for the interpretation of any play (part I of the Thesis). Moreover, the analysis of plays from a temporal perspective (part II and III of the Thesis) allows to reveal the ideas of man and the ethical foundations of his actions inside the studied mentalities. Therefore, this study proposes a redefinition of the role of these plays in the context of the Christian civilization in which they were originated, by means of analysing the world views and conceptions of the History which these plays convey

Full textMadness reflects a kind of discontinuous writting. It is characterized by the use of certain rethorical devices which express specific states of mind. Eugene ionesco adapts this procedure to his theater because by definition both theater and madness belong to the realm of illusion and unbalance. Eugene ionesco doest not treat madness on his theater as a mental illness, but rather as an esthetic game in which one plays with words, objects and images. The author enjoys destituting words from their throne to replace them by scenic language (objects, lighting, sounds, movements). In order to corroborate our hypothesis, we have analysed some representative settings of "la cantatrice chauve" and "la lecon" to reach a visualization of the different aspects of this madness, anguish, euphoria and crave are frozen into images. Eugene ionesco's theater of madness, but this madness is not affected at all by the defeat of the other self

Full textThis work can be entitled also as a reflexion on the dimension of history in the theatre of sartre. In this regard, his six pieces are characteristic, showing three different periodes. Firstly, Bariona or The son of thunder, the flies, secondly, Deaths without sepulture, Red glove and finally, The demon and the good god, The prisoners of Altona. This point of view "impose" a diachronical study on the evolution of his esthetic. The reject of "retrospectif" genre, shown in the declaration of 1947 will be followed by the slow moving toward the historical theatre. Historical climate is suitable to the reflexion on the moral, and "distance" makes the political reflexion possible in two degrees : historical and actuel, or formal and allusive. So, this lecture of sartrien theatre can be formulated such as "historical lecture" and "intertextuel lecture". Historical and mythic frames outline ficticios stories. In spite of the author's anachronical attitude, in general, it's also possible to see his respectful description regarding historical facts, and historicity is revealed slowly. In this regard, his discovery of epical theatre and historical theatre is significant, and his care for the popular theatre based on the subjectivity can be explained

Full textThe current craze for French-speaking theatre for young people leads to considering forty plays through the notion of « jeu* », complex and polysemic term which has interestingly both a creative and destructive influence on this genre. The playing and acting of the characters sometimes clarify the tensions within the plays and facilitate the reception. But the understanding of the plays is challenged by very subtle forms of playing, ranging from dreaming to non-game. So the young audience needs to be involved to really understand the plays. Identification and catharsis are not enough. The games of re-writing also contribute to challenge the reception for a youngest audience because they are based on subversion and multiple layers of significations. But scenography and acting are ways to still release the pleasure of the show. Games about genres enable the young audience to keep contact with the plays because of the contributions of narrative literature, visual arts and poetry. Even if these influences endanger the acting of the plays, the renewal of the dramatic genre is also the way to find a new young audience. (*The word is in French game, playing or acting)

Full textModern studies on Greek tragedy are usually based either on the structural contrast between « individual characters » and « collective character » (chorus) or on a social-type contrast between heroes (born into an illustrious mythical family) and people of modest origins. In fact, both reading grids don’t take into account the characters which are at the same time « individuals » and « ordinary people », the anonymous characters (some fifteen in Sophocles’). Regarded as simple « small parts », they have never been the subject of a specific study. In the ancient and modern stage directions (didascalies) of the text, they are refered to by a common noun, most of the time reflecting their function (messenger), their work (shepherd) or their age (an old man), but this common noun can vary for the same character from an edition to another. The survey first deals with the origins and the history of these designations, from the oldest manuscript of Sophocles’text to the most recent editions. The second part of the thesis studies the position and the part of these characters in the tragical plot : if , as expected, their influence on the action is limited, in return they are essential instruments for the construction of space and time, characteristics of every tragedy, they are the « go-between » required for an internal communication between the other characters, as well as the necessary vehicle for communication from the author to the audience. Last, the third part presents the ancient concept of « character » and tries to decide in which extent these anonymous can be given a « nature » in the aristotelician meaning

Full textEven though they live on good terms (and especially during the baroque age), death and tragedy are not to be depending one from another: a play could be called "tragedy", not because of the powerful reign of death, but in consideration of the very nature of the situations; and death itself could, instead of dramatizing the action, "dedramatizing" the latter

Full textIn 1906, Jarry collaborated with Sansot in publishing a collection of six books of his works. Only two of the volumes came out and the project was abandoned. But what we now have is one, a medley of three operettas, two plays from the Ubu Roi saga and a collection of « Spéculations »; and the other, a title, Théâtre mirlitonesque, which introduced an unknown genre with polemic intentions. The Théâtre mirlitonesque (“Kazoo Plays”) is a collection of Jarry’s texts that he himself tended to describe as minor. The plays borrow from minor theatrical forms such as operetta and puppetry; the newspaper articles are on the fringe of literature; the writing owes a lot to popular songs. But at a time when ideas of verse, poetry and the theatre were being reworked, the Sansot edition was not merely a publication of Jarry’s minor works. The mirliton is a polysemy index, a kazoo that sounds like a performance by Punch, a popular chorus, doggerel, which talks about the way plays are performed, or about poetry. By putting it at the forefront of Sansot’s theatrical publications, Jarry suggests that the values and basic principles of poetry and theatre should be overturned. This thesis shows how, by converting the concepts of « bad » and « minor » into tools of poetry criticism and by declaring the poetic and dramatic qualities of uncertainty, approximation, conflict and the arbitrary, which reign supreme in Jarry’s « mirlitonesque » system of representation, he raises questions about poetry and opens up a new approach to verse and language
Maître, Fabienne. "La figure sacrificielle dans le théâtre contemporain anglais." Paris 4, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA040033.
Full textThe renewal of the tragic style, revolving mainly around the sacrificial figure, remarkably influences contemporary British drama. Sacrifice is both at the very heart of tragedy and of contemporary thought. Ancient and classical Judeo-Christian hypotexts appear as major cultural references giving way to palimpsest plays. The widening of the field of reflection leads to a variety of interpretations of the sacrificial figure, mainly represented by mass slaughter at the end of the XXth century. Poetical transcendence now replaces the sacred dimension of ritualistic sacrifice in a postmodern tragedy characterized by physical and metaphysical dislocation. Human sacrifice remains the core of this labyrinthine tragedy

A preliminary research based upon statistics of textual elements permitted to spot several tendencies in the image of the space in the modern grek plays in which the most important isnnamed as the "theatre of every day life". A more profound study was to be accomplished on plays and performances considered as being the most caracteristic for each tendency. Were analysed : the courtyard of miracles by i. Kambanellis, the ring - the backgammon by d. Kechaidis, mana mitera mama by y. Dialegmenos, the family by y. Armenis, the ghost of m. Ramon novaro by p. Matessis, the negotiations for antigone's marriage by v. Ziogas, the ali redzo story by p. Markaris. Conclusions from this aproach state the intercourses between modern greek playwriting and scenic practice, especially with karolos koun and his art theatre, intercourses dealing with the traditional greek naturalistic playwriting of the between the two wars period and the influences received by foreign dramatists and finally intercourses refering to the social reality which followed world warii. Annexed to this work are a detailed list of the greek playwriting production and its performances from 1942 to 1982 and a detailed account of the statistics used for the preliminary phase of the whole work

Full textThis thesis intends to clarify some aspects of the translation of dramatic works. Through studies of dramatic texts and analysis of translation theories, based on Chinese translations of two French plays, we try to present the problematics of theatrical translation. We conclude that the object of theatrical translation is to re-establish the original work's scene conception. Thus theatrical knowledge and a good translation method are indispensable for the translator. This study recapitulates the principles of the Interpretative Theory of translation, and proposes its application in the process of theatrical translation

Full textThere is a big difference between the fact that theatre is in crisis and that representation is impossible to actualize. The first part of this study presents the historical and polemic conditions behind the emergence of theatre in Lebanon and the Arab world, the concrete problems of identity, authenticity and modernity with wich Arab artists have been confronted since the very beginning of their practice and the causes for the historical lack of theatre in this region. But beyond such discourse, wouldn't the crisis of theatre be due to the positioning of our artists towards theatre, the world and communal life as well? The second part of the study is about specific questions such as: Couldn't the study of the auto-reflective plays' themes to which several Lebanese artists resort (such as the critique of theatre and power) isolate internal contradictions that impede the actualization of representation? Isn't a religious and archaic vision of the surrounding world in contradiction with this political and " laic " practice that theatre is?

Full textIs there a Lebanese theater ? Our work aims at addressing this question. The play entitled Al Bakhil (L' "Avare" de Molière), that was adapted by Maroun Naccache in 1848, represents a starting point and a reference in the history of the Arabic theatre. We study the theatre in the period between 1848 and 1975, as well as the other forms of performing arts present before 1848, and consider the periods of development, regression and the underlying causes. The work includes a general overview of the Lebanese theatre in Lebanon, Egypt and France as well as an analysis of the different movements and the characteristics of each evolution period. We have stressed the problems and difficulties of the theatre in relation with the socio-political and economic context. This work consists in five sections that address 1- the aspects of the different forms of performing arts before Naccache; 2- the birth of theatre in Lebanon with Naccache and the difficulties encountered as well as the contributions of his successors in the development of theatre in Lebanon and Egypt; 3- the period of instability due to World War I and II, local wars and economic crises; 4- the renewed rise and growth of Lebanese theatre between 1960 and 1975; 5- the French-speaking (francophone) Lebanese theatre. The theatrical works of different play-writers and directors have been analyzed and categorized. In a effort to preserve a record of the theatrical works of this period, a unified record listing the main play-writers, directors and actors, as well as theatre companies, theatres and play titles was created. Although the main aim of our work was to analyze the different factors affecting the evolution of the theatrical genre, it was necessary to undertake a general historical overview to better understand the interaction between these factors in their socio-political and economic context

Full textThe thesis is a study of the relations between the various aspects of comic theatre and moral order in France between 1875 and 1881. Aesthetics, the history of comedy and the themes, studied in the first part, are stamped with a serious and bourgeois ethic; the second part shows how the carrier of comic authors and the power of mentalities confirm the influence of social values (those included in their norms and in the transgressions that they allow). The corpus is made up by the whole of comic types: light comedy, vaudeville, "bouffes" as well as the important production of comic-opera libretti. The main problematic of the work is made up by the relations between aesthetics and morals, the wide range of comic types, the presentation to the public of works often judged as minor ones. The contributions of the research can be found in the fields of theatrical censorship, in the hierarchy between the different theatres and types of play, in the evolution of dramatic writing during the period studied. The contents of theatrical seasons, the biography of the main authors and a comparison (made up from specific works) between the thought of the second empire and the early third republic can be found in the annexes.
