Full textThis research is a study of the comic and the tragic in the theatrical work of Wole Soyinka. It analyses, on one hand, the depiction and the dramaturgical relations between the comic and the tragic in his drama and, on the other hand, relates them to the sociological and ideological context of modern Africa. The association of the tragic and the comic is one of the most important pillars of contemporary African drama, according to critics. The aim of this research is to examine the nature, the forms and the meaning of this association in Soyinka’s drama. From the same viewpoint, the aim is to determine the place of comedy in African tragedy. The Nigerian dramatist has proposed an African tragedy based on Yoruba cosmogony, rituals and metaphysics. However, as it is usually the case with propositions of African tragedy, Soyinka has underestimated the comic in the process. Yet, the complexity of this comic invites to a different approach. Broadly speaking, critics seem to have misjudged the comic aspect in African tragedy. Although it is less researched area, it is known that African audiences laugh during representations of tragedies. It is also said that laughter and festivity are part of daily life, including during its tragic moments. On this respect, the aim of this research is to identify an African tragedy through the drama of comic. Soyinka’s drama shows that this comic aspect, this laughter, and this festivity are at the expression of man’s modern tragedy. The dramatic text, the historical and aesthetic process, and the poetics of its reception are the pillars of this expression

Full textViolence comes across black african French-speaking theatrical production since its origins. It is prone to thematic and aesthetic changes which makes it evolve from one period to another. We have thus passed from confined theatres of assimilated violence where the form was a constraint to an outburst of writings dealing with violence in contemporary works. Violence appears in the plays of William Ponty (1930) under the form of cultural conflict drawn from African customs. Turned into political violence, it embarks the dramaturgic categories during the Seventies in the confrontation of the colonizer against the colonised. With the theatre of the 1980’s, violence, still political, takes however another form marked by an attempt to disrupt with classical theatrical canons. Associating the burlesque with tragedy, bypassing the French language, establishing a dialogue between tradition and modernity through an endogenous writing are as many realities characterizing the expression of conflicts about disillusionnement. In most of the plays following the1990’s, on the other hand, the conflicts take on a plural image which convenes the world through distinctive modes of expression. It results in a hybrid writing in which violence is voiced out through the dislocation of the dramatic categories and of the meaning that emerges out of it. From this scriptural dynamics of violence arises a displacement of the theatrical stakes in so far as African dramas today get rid of the nationalist inclinations to endorse the world’s realities. Thus the opening of contemporary theatres to the world creates a variety of forms whose complexity calls into question the concept of Africanity

Full textIt may seem paradoxical to choose the dramatic genre of tragedy to represent and support the struggles around the decolonization process of the French empire, as it is a symbol of western culture. However, we demonstrate in this thesis the relevance of this combination of a canonical genre with a protest topic. From the study of a diverse corpus of about thirty plays written in French by African, Caribbean, and Malagasy authors in the second half of the 20th century (1942-1992), we identify a theatrical phenomenon that we call "decolonization tragedies". On the one hand, the genre of tragedy allows to create myths, to celebrate precolonial societies and to highlight anti-colonial struggles. On the other hand, this genre allows to display defeats, which enables the indictment of Europe's self-proclaimed civilizing mission, and reveals the violence of the colonial and slavery system from the standpoint of those who suffer it. Moreover, the specific nature of tragedy encourages to examine its impact on gender. Finally, discussing some distortions in the reception of the plays allows us to show that the dramatic genre is being renewed through the affirmation of a destiny that is no longer transcendental, but historical, and from which one can emancipate oneself

Full textThis study analyszes the representation of cultural identity in sixteen drama texts written by Kenyans in English and in French for the Kenya National Drama Festival (KNDF). Considering the colonial history and the postcolonial context of Kenya, the task involved identifying the postcolonial markers within the texts, identifying major themes and traits constituting a Kenyan cultural identity and determining specific cultural identity. Using a comparative approach, the study draws from both postcolonial and theatre theories. The postcolonial concepts touching on identity through language, culture and representation are identified and analyzed in respect to the Kenyan context. For this reason, the study narrows down to the theoretical works of Edward Saïd, Homi K. Bhabha, Chinua Achebe and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o. The study reveals that the Kenyan population is faced with a multiplicity of cultural choices brought about by the colonization experience, the new practices associated with globalization, as well as the complexities and challenges of daily life. The KNDF proves to be an avenue for sensitizing the public on new phenomena, for denouncing societal ills and for promoting African traditional norms. It is apparent that the use of European languages does not hinder the representation of cultural reality of the local society. Kenya therefore attests to cultural mobility seen in the progression from the traditional system towards a more globalized disposition
Tchamitchian, Raphaëlle. "Dramaturgie / jazz. Le théâtre de Suzan-Lori Parks ˸ poétique et expérience créatrice." Thesis, Paris 3, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019PA030038.
Full textThis dissertation in Theatre Studies aims to theorize the tension between “drama / jazz” through the works of African American playwright Suzan-Lori Parks. Born in 1963, Suzan- Lori Parks is as famous in the United States as she is little known in France. Informed by the memory of slavery and the African slave trade, her theatre dis(re)members History to reverse the dominant discourse, make a new story and provide reparation to the living and the dead. By approaching her writing through jazz, we take into account the “double consciousness” that is constitutive of her poetics, and the anthropological, historical and political issues it raises. In her theatre, jazz is not only a form of music, but also a way of looking at the world, a cluster of poetic conduits and an organic presence that sets the writing in motion from within. From this paradoxical presence/absence what emerges is not a model but instead a group of converging lines of flight. Liquidity and fugitivity appear to be key jazz-shaped elements of a poetics of mutability. This poetics is linked to the creative experience of the playwright, which in turn gives birth to a creative experience for the spectator during performance. In short, the task is to understand the ways jazz affects theatre to the point of producing a new kind of theatre

Full textThe resounding success of chivalric drama in German-speaking countries at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth has not secured for this "genre" the attention it deserves from researchers. Based on better quantitative survey of this dramatic from and a broader corpus of references, the present study invalidates the theses founded on fragmentary material. This phenomenon, as the point of convergence of questions of aesthetics and of historical and political realities, is reinserted in the German theatre at a moment which coincides with the awakening of a Germanic identity, the acceptance of Shakespeare and aesthetic conflicts. The analysis of the concept of patriotism, which is inseparable from the idea of a "national theatre", clarifies the point of view transmitted by these plays as regards the life of the city and the established powers and gives the "genre" its place in the debate concerning the image of foreigners and the contrasting effects of stereotypes. The metamorphosis of this theatrical vein, once revealed, rejects the positions considered acceptable until now. The dispute concerning levels of

Full textClassical theatre did not permit death on stage. This ban had been laid down by Horace in his Ars poetica and justified by Medea’s infanticide: “Medea should not slaughter her children in the presence of the people […]. Whatever you show me like this, I detest and refuse to believe. ” Due to this illustrious reference, from the 16th to the 18th century, Medea became a choice example for reflections on verisimilitude and on the means of achieving dramatic effectiveness. Stage adaptations of the story of Medea raised the issues of the limits of what could be represented and the reasons why violence had to be controlled and limited by playwrights in order to become acceptable. While they stand for a climax of violence, Medea’s crimes also call for investigations in specific fields. Compendia of myths, medical treatises, books of demonology, theories on power and women: texts from all these fields of knowledge, in which Medea served as a paradigm, have been consulted to shed new light on the theatrical treatment of the subject. Making violence plausible does not imply eliminating it entirely; violence is effective dramatically, as the popularity of the subject-matter demonstrates. Therefore, this study focuses on confronting the theoretical discourse on theatre with the plays themselves, in order to understand better the advantages and risks for the tragic genre entailed by the representation of violence. These Medeas mark the limits of what is tolerable on stage and sketch out a history of the theatrical representation of bloody crimes. In this respect, the scandal represented by Medea appears as a particularly rich theoretical and dramatic object

Full textShakespeare presented madness as a necessary step towards awareness. This analysis was representative of a period during which the weight of institutions allowed only the king's fools or the artists to express themselves freely. In the twentieth century, we can witness a shift of interest. From 1960 to 1990, British and American playwrights were more interested in the treatment of madness, than in madness itself. The general dynamic of their plays is one of denunciation, thanks to a comical vein or to a scathing satire. Dramatists have actually exploited psychiatric issues to incriminate totalitarian powers
