Vasserot, Christilla. "Les avatars de la tragédie dans le théâtre cubain contemporain, 1941-1968." Paris 3, 1999. http://www.theses.fr/1999PA030059.
Full textThe expression cuban theatre means much more than an artistic category or a place. It represents an art always seeking for its own style : the dramatization and the production of a national identity, the search of typical cuban forms. This quest had created different kinds of theatre's experiences. Nevertheless, beyond the diversity of genres, different levels of quality, and of course individual specificities, several common points and similarities allow us to assert the existence of a generation. Such observations justify our study that aims at presenting a serie of thoughts in a way to define a contemporary cuban dramatic way of writing. This study more precisely deals with a period of time between 1941 and 1968 (these two dates are symbolic and related to the composition and the publication of virgilio pinera and anton arrufat's plays : electra garrigo and los siete contra tebas). These years represent a step of theatre's revival that was marked out by the will to create a specifically cuban dramaturgy using technics and aesthetic models of international avant-garde. The choice of tragedy as the federative element of the plays mentioned in this study is not fortuitous. The appropriation of the tragic genre is indeed linked to the most interesting researches carried out by the authors of that period : - revival of the cuban dramatic art's traditonal forms - quest of modernity related to foreign models - creation of an appropriate genre to express what is commonly called cubania ; elaboration of a national and contemporary style : the cuban tragedy, which we define in our whole study

Full textThis thesis examines the theatrical production of Virgilio Piñera (1912 – 1979) via the major dramatic and theatrical ideas which overlap in his plays, in which their fundamental characteristic is to find a place in the “New Theatre” of the 1950s. This assertion is confirmed by analyzing the principal dramatic categories, and the development of several of these towards a perfection of the “new form”. In addition, we show that in many plays there is an oblique or veiled allusion to a Cuban reality which, while enriching the text, leaves the spectator free to interpret according to his experience of the context, or lack thereof. This constitutes a particular feature of the theatre of Piñera. Studying the “game”, in the larger sense of the word, enables us to approach the repeated use of theatricality, parody, and intertextuality which is unique to this playwright. These resources, which we find in the “New Theatre” in Europe (Ionesco, Beckett), show a link between the work of Piñera and this movement. Finally, in questioning the tragic element, we provide evidence that this Cuban playwright’s vision of the world is inseparable from his conception of human nature and of the human condition. By showing a violence inherent in the world, and by employing various dramatic categories, this tragic vision is supported and takes form in his plays. Questioning these various themes permits us to reveal unexplored aspects of Piñera’s theatre and to show the renewal of the tragic element by this playwright
Roth, Salomé. "Quand les dieux entrent en scène : pratiques rituelles afro-cubaines et performances scéniques à La Havane au lendemain de la Révolution." Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016USPCA150/document.
Full textThis work studies on stage performances created in Cuba as a result of the encounter of Marxist ideology, officially adopted by the government in 1961, and Afro-Cuban religions, practised in the island since the arrival of the first African slaves. On one hand, the revolutionnary government set out to transform Afro-Cuban rituals into a national folklore in order to both neutralize its religious significance and insert it within the heritage of a nation in building; on the other hand, artists, playwrights in particular, were ordered over the years to be the activists of a staunch atheist political cause. Therefore these two worlds, Afro-Cuban rituals and socially engaged theater, were a priori quite distinct. However, some playwrights took on bridging the gap between them : Carlos Felipe (Réquiem por Yarini, 1960/1965), José Ramón Brene (Santa Camila de la Habana Vieja, 1962), José Triana (Medea en el espejo, 1960 and La muerte del Ñeque, 1964), Eugenio Hernández Espinosa (María Antonia, 1964/1967) and José Milián (Mamico Omi Omo, 1965).Their approaches and goals were diverse but, somehow or other, by the detour of theater, they all came to restore the effectiveness of the ritual language, lost in the context of folk scenes, and to create, often unwittingly, a theater similar to the Theater of Cruelty theorised by Antonin Artaud, the theater of « the invisible made visible » – the one precisely criticized by the revolutionary authority

Gourg-Combres, Claude. "Le théâtre anglais de 1946 à 1956 : les racines de la colère." Paris 4, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1991PA040160.
Full textThe chronic discontent that pervaded the theatre world between 1946 and 1956 has led us to investigate the origins of the ever-widening gap between the theatre and society. Post-war socio-political transformations accounted for a severe economic crisis, reflected in an identity crisis that was crystallized and exorcised by the 1951 festival of Britain. The theatre itself, suffered from a two-pronged crisis: an obsolete system of financing, and what was felt to be a dearth of new playwrights. A survey of the plays actually staged has enabled us to pinpoint the comparative share of English creation. Twenty-two authors have been introduced. Using an analytical approach, we have attempted to capture the "tone" of post-war drama, as well as to spot criteria of modernism, that is, of relevance to the mood of the time. We have used the concept of role, together with Eric Berne's transactional analysis. A history of state intervention and of the creation of promising structures has been outlined. Finally, a textual analysis of look back in anger, as well as a comparative study of Now Barabbas. . . (W. Douglas-Home) and of The quare fellow (B. Behan), bring out emerging distinctive features
Leich-Galland, Claire. "La réception du théâtre français en Allemagne (1918-1933)." Paris 4, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PA040287.
Full textThis work analyzes the reception of french theater in germany during the weimar republic and determines the impact this repertory has on the receiving culture. The plays, massively imported consist mainly of conventional comedies of manners; french modern theater does not really interest the germans. The criterium for selecting plays in their entertainment value. Drama critics are opposed to this tendency which supposedly "lowers" the cultural level and try to influence german authors in order to liberate german theater from the french repertory. In fact, a new german conventional comedy breaks through in 1925, it starts replacing the french plays. The study of intercultural reception sheds light on the importance of comedy since 1918, with expressionism, and reveals a continuing competition between the repertories of the two countries. Unlike the spectators, the critics again take an anti-french stand. They complain about the outdatedness of these imported plays in comparison to german drama. Nevertheless close analysis of the type of production which makes up the french repertory, patterned on the "well made play", reveals that we are at the very core of modernism: "the reproducibility of art" , as coined by walter benjamin. The french plays are forerunners of mass culture. This is the true reason behind the importation of this repertory in germany from 1918 to 1933
Autant-Mathieu, Marie-Christine. "Le Théâtre soviétique au "Dégel" (1952-1964)." Paris 3, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA030069.
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
Korjenevskaïa, Nina. "L'allégorie politique au théâtre : Vladimir Maäkovski et Romain Rolland." Paris, INALCO, 2001. http://www.theses.fr/2001INAL0015.
Full textPolitical allegory appeared in the theatre of antiquity in some comedies of Aristophanes ("Peace", Lysistratus"), and later, developed in dramatic works generally speaking, particularly in the works of Lope de Vega ("Fuente Ovejuna"), Calderon de la Barca ("Life is a dream"), Alfred Jarry ("Ubu King"). At the beginning of the XX-th century it reappears in the theatre of Vladimir Maiakovski, a Russian futurist writer ("Vladimir Maiakovski, Tragedy", "Comic Mystery Play") in the play by Romain Rolland ("Liluli") and also in the theoretical works and theatre of Bertold Brecht. In spite of the differences in periods, national traditions and styles of each writer, the political allegory keeps some specific features thanks to which can be recognised as such

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

Full textBetween 1915 and 1930, Spanish drama stuck in a realism which had become incapable of expressing modern reality and sensitivity. Was in search of new languages in the same way as the other arts. This search of modernity mirrors, with a few years’ delay, the renovation of European drama in some of its forms. Contrary to the idealism of Martinez Sierra who gave new life to drama following aestheticism, Rivas Cherif attempts at theorizing and creating a national, popular theater - mingling a return to the origins of primitive drama and the resort to the most modern languages. The Madrid stage between 1915 and 1930 but mirrors the difficulties in the relations between Europe and a country, Spain, in the process of trying to assert its own identity
Added, Serge. "Le théâtre en France dans les années Vichy, 1940-1944." Reims, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990REIML005.
Full textA historian's research, this thesis studies the links between the theatre and society at a certain historic period. Amidst a worldwide turmoil, the theatre in France benefited from an astonishing prosperity. The policies of the state authorities (Vichy and the occupying forces), other official bodies (in particular professional organizations) and cultural practices (theatre-goers as well as the main artistic trends) are studies here. This thesis dwells upon the different ways in which the theatre is integrated in the society of the vichy-years. Did shortages have an influence upon dramatic production ? Did the exclusion of jews also take place in the theatre ? Did the plays deal with political problems ? Can't it be said that artistic practices themselves (the notion of popular theatre, the growing importance of the part played by the director in the creative process. . . ) Were closely related to the vichy ideology ? This study, which covers a short political period (1940-44) of an art which has been evolving over a longer period, is also simultaneously, an insight into the wary secular artistic evolutions are interwoven with a very specific political period at the same time as it delves into french society in the vichy-years
Mazellier-Grünbeck, Catherine. "Sécularisation et sacralisation dans le théâtre expressionniste allemand 1910-1924." Paris 10, 1992. http://www.theses.fr/1992PA100044.
Full textThis thematic study analyses the phenomenon of literary secularization and the sacred manifestations in the German expressionistic theatre throughout about fifty plays, in particular three main authors: Georg Kaiser, Ernst Toller and Ernst Barlach. The different forms of literary secularization are shown: allusion, variation on biblical characters or themes and structural variation in the case of the "stationendrama", interpreted as the transfer of a religious structure (the passion) into a dramatic structure. A functional typologie is established from these forms, with three functions: referential, parodical and blasphemous function. On the oher hand, the expressionistic theatre expresses the sacralization of the secular world and the realization, here and now, of the message of love and hope in the gospel. The ideal of the "new man", the communal utopia and the theatrical experience, conceived as a communion, illustrate that. The conception of the sacred is shown by the role of the irrational, of the immanence and subjective experience of the religious sphere

Full textSeduction consiste of using artificial strategies in order to create desire while by passing obstacles. The qualities of the seducer. The state of his prey and the character of the obstacles to be overcome set the tone of the pay; if seduct ion is based on fantasy where hedonisme easily triumphs, the play is amusing. On the other hand, if seduction is based on the the reality qhere morals predominate, the play is serious. But regardless of the tone used, seduction is the most cherished theme for all authors from the boulevard who take on interest in private life. We propose to study all of the aspects of seduction from 1900 to 1940 through the "theatre de boulevard" ; in the first part, the global framework of the dramatic arts : the story, the time and the space of seduction; and in the second part, the dramatic arts in practice : the staff and the language in the first section, the situation and the functioning of seduction in the second section and in conclusion the repersussions of seduction

Full textIn contemporary drama, the amazing abundance of corpse and odd apparitions between life and death is due on the hand to the exhibition of the body and its involvment to signification, and the other, to the return of death, a death which is no longer seen as a punctual event, but a situation or a state of being as itself. From beckett to copi, from ionesco to vinaver, the corpse happens to be place where ideological, phantasmatic, esthetic and dramatic challenges appear. In a strategy of inscription, the dead body is the expression of historical violence or witness to the alienation of modern man. While language and symbolization fail to make sens, while words have lost any power to mean, only the corpse seems to be able to signify; it identifies also with the "other" imaginary body, the schizophrenic, anal body, close to the instinctive life. Actuated by subversive phantasm, the housebreaking strategy of death endeavours to reach the center of the body, the very nakedness under the signs and deceitful masks. This major obsession of body and death generates a diversified, chequered and lively dramatic art. .
Ghanam, Oussama. "Le théâtre de l'"ailleurs et autrefois" de Michel Vinaver." Paris 8, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA082515.
Full textThe thesis examines the theme of “elsewhere and formerly “in Michel Vinaver's theatre. The works of Michel Vinaver can be considered mainly as attempts to focus on the “here and now” France with a few exceptions: the plays that are set in different places (elsewhere) “Les Coréens, Iphigénie hôtel and L'Ordinaire”, in a different time frame (formerly) “Portrait d'une femme” or those plays that are set both elsewhere and in the past “King and L'Objecteur”. Considering that the thesis deals with two fundamental questions: the representation of the “elsewhere and formerly” theme and intertextuality, these plays that were written in the fifties and late eighties are in its core. The two main axes of analysis, that is to say the representation of the “elsewhere and formerly” on the one hand, and intertextuality on the other hand, allow us to view Vinaver's last plays “King and L'Objecteur” as his ultimate statement. Not only do they help us understand the relationship between ideology and writing but also the ideology of writing of these plays so as to finally discover Vinaver's complex and rich vision of the world

Sabbah, Jacqueline. "Le théâtre sous la seconde République espagnole : le travail de Cipriano de Rivas Cherif à Madrid." Paris 3, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA030060.
Full textThis works opens with a panorama of the spanish stage in the twenties, constructed around the idea of a crisis in the world of theatre and the authoritative power of valle inclan. The proclamation of the second republic starts a new era. By explaining rivas cherif's thoughts about the mission of theatre and the part played bty the intellectuals, we can apprehend the main assumptions of the republican theatrical reform. On the stage of madrid's teatro espanol, then in his teatro escuela de arte, rivas cherif intends to create a republican national theatre. In his school of theatre, he 'retheatralises' the theatre and works on a true 'rediscovery' of the stage and of the actor's art. We investigated the ambiguous link existing between the text and the performance, as well as the idea of 'cultural nationalisme', trying to replace it in the troubled context of the european inter-war period thanks to the study of various stagings : la dama boda, by lope de vega in an adaptation by lorca, medea, and elalcalde de zalamea. These different experiments drive us to analyse thoroughly the 'romantic' aesthetic and ideal rivas cherif professed. His work, by the side of valle inclan and lorca, contributed to reveal resolutly modern theatrical systems. They, however, go beyond his prospect, and help us to perceive not only the size of his work, but also its limits, and, last, open new perspectives for the study of the cultural history of contemporary spain

Full textIn Rome, where theatre is a theatre of pure play, ghosts appearing in Seneque’s tragedies are no anthropological ghosts but pure images with a theatrical operator purpose : within a prologue they have a performing function lying in starting the show, and within the narration they release the characters from the “dolor” so that the show can be genuinely started. In Greece, ghosts appearing in Eschyle’s and Euripide’s plays have a mixed function : informative, for the stories originate in mythology but get modified by dramatists, and performing for they act on the course of the show. In contemporary theatre (Pasolini, Gabily, Bond, Koltès, Müller) which, unlike the other two, is not a ritual and codified theatre but a theatre of representation, phantoms are built after signifying images. However, dramatists systematically release themselves from these original images in order to set up specifically theatrical space and time, proper to ghosts, especially by using different forms of meta-theatre. Meetings with the living do not ever reproduce extra-theatrical patterns but occur, within each play, as unprecedented meetings taking place concurrently to the theatrical narrative. They are used for defining the theatrical space as a space of play where, thanks to the ghosts, a specific relations created between the stage and the audience, based on recognition and taking the place of the classical relation of identification. Ghosts are pointers of playfulness and allow the director to consider playful stagings, sequences in which they intervene, establishing an ephemeral but real sociability between the actors and the audience

Full textThis study takes a look back at sixty years (1945-2005) of French theatre in the United States and tries to understand how the French stagings on tour, as well as the French repertoire mounted by Americans directors in the States, have been perceived and welcomed in New York by American audiences. In France, the theatrical exportation is taken care of and subsidised by the government. Thus theatrical venues in New York will allow to understand and evaluate the methods, means and goals of French politics. The first part examines the American stage and how it functions, pointing out a few important differences between the French and American stages from an aesthetical as well as from an economical point of view. The second and third parts demonstrate that in the past sixty years, the French theatrical venues in New York have been directly connected to French diplomacy’s official strategy to export French culture abroad. Finally the fourth part explains what the main difficulties of touring abroad are. These are not only related to aesthetics, they also involve politics, language, money, technicality, personal tastes and encounters, etc
Galera, Marie-Jeanne. "Le théâtre bref d'Elena Garro : une esthétique de la communication humaine, entre la mexicanité et l'universalité." Perpignan, 1998. http://www.theses.fr/1998PERP0278.
Full textThe production of elena garro, a contemporary mexican writer, includes novels, short stories and theatre plays. The rebel personnality of this author who never hesitated to bind herself in the way of contestation has often occulted the aesthetic richness of her texts, of her dramatic works in particular. Most of time, her plays gave rise to excessive interpretations, which conduced to size up the works and their author in different movements of social and political demands. The main aesthetic characteristic of her plays has been ignored up to the present : most of them (12 out of 14) are brief (no more than 40 mn. On stage) and composed of one single act. The brief structure has a notable effect upon dramatic language and upon the whole theatrical communication, from the author till the spectator. In addition to the production context, the study of these short plays requires a revision and an adaptation of the different theoretical and methodological systems inherents in the analysis of dramatic texts, from plato and aristotle till language sciences. This approach allows to emphasize the essence of the drama according to elena garro : the theatre as a place of communication, above all as a place of intercultural and human communication

Full textOur study aims to reveal the life and dynamism of the genuinely French meta-theatrical devices that may have seemed dormant for more than two centuries.It is based on plays which are founded on mirror dynamics, chosen within the drama of the Spanish Siglo de oro and the French seventeenth century theatre. It first compares the modalities of the specular mechanisms and the French borrowings and adjustments in both these corpuses in order to try and understand their causes and to bring out the formal, semantic and stage archetypes that are specifically French. Then it sets out the factors that enabled these devices to undergo a revival in the French theatre of the twentieth century, while studying the changes that appeared in the specular structures and identifying the dominant modern tendencies that characterize these structures. Although it is true that the mirror dynamics are also brought to life on the twentieth century Spanish stage, this study finally reveals that it is the French specular plays – though the language would indicate otherwise – that inspire many countries in South America including Cuba where the dramatic creativity finds its originality in its surprising dynamism and its powerful dramatic arts. This study also brings out the reasons that explain such a distinct interest of Latin American playwrights for the device and for its practice in the French theatre. This thesis produces a new concept covering seven major specular theatrical forms, which enables the establishment of a typology to study the French modalities of creation and operation. Its purpose is to retrace and reveal what transfers and metaphors « the theatre at its French mirror », as we chose to call it, has undergone, from its origins to the twentieth century, in order to bring out the universality not only of these forms but, most of all, of some of their meanings and stage achievements
Goma, Valérie. "Dramaturgies de l'espace carceral : de Genet à Bond." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030064.
Full textApart from Calderon with La vie est un songe, the western catalogue hasn't known any representation of the prison space before the writing of Haute surveillance by Jean Genet, whose first known version dates back to 1942. The following study delves into the occurence of the prison theme in dramatic art through a thematic corpus of eight emblematic plays : Haute surveillance ; Moi, Ulrike, je crie (Dario Fo) ; La passion du jardinier (Jean-Pierre Sarrazac) ; Roberto Zucco (Bernard-Marie Koltès) ; Maison d'Arrêt (Edward Bond) ; Sas (Michel Azama) ; Appelez-moi chef (Alphonse Boudard) ; The island (Athol Fugard, John Kani, Winston Ntshona). Put under the light of the real in dramatic art for their critical reference to penitentiary verisimilitude settled into contemporary times, they outsketch shutting-up spaces which span well beyond the sole prison perimeter. Thus this corroborates Michel Foucault's vision of a general partitioning of society. In that perspective, action as in the Aristotelian logic, has disappeared from the fable in most cases and even when it is represented it remains inoperative – all it does is protract a prior situation of seclusion
Viviescas, Víctor. "Représentation de l'individu dans le théâtre colombien moderne 1950-2000." Paris 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005PA030009.
Full textThis thesis carries out an investigation on the modern Colombian writing during the second part of the XX century, around the concept known as "the individual's representation. " Primarily we had investigated three aspects of the contemporary writing context, which are the crisis of drama, the crisis of the representation and the crisis of the individual. This triple crisis creates the context in which the dramaturgy we are about to study is borned and developed. The colombian modern theatre takes its source from the drama crisis and arrives at the end of the XX century, to the experimentation of the postdramatic and post representation writing in the context created by the simultaneous presence of three alternative concepts which are: the hybridization in the dramatic way and the experimentation of the fragment like form; the overflow and the setting in crisis of the representation that is experienced as simulation ; and the individual's explosion and its representation of broken fragments through the theatrical character

Full textThis thesis is about the history of the discipline of theatre studies in France and in the two Germanies, from 1945 to the early 2000s. It examines the historical and social conditions in order to understand its emergence and development. My main hypothesis is that the creation of this discipline happened at the intersection of the academic and theatrical fields, and at the crossroads of local, national and international logics. Unlike older disciplines, theatre studies avows a larger openness vis-a-vis logics external to the academic world, both in terms of training and job prospects. Participating perhaps in the contemporary challenges to “disciplinary order”, the history of this discipline must also be resituated within the broader metamorphosis of theatre and the university over the course of this period. Our approach relies on historical sociology, whose aim is to bring together methods from history and sociology in order to simultaneously think about events, institutional history, and structural analysis. Without abandoning the basis for comparison between France and the two Germanies, our methodology also draws heavily from histoire croisée, which allows us to broaden the scope of our analysis without accepting at face value the national framework of the discipline
Diese Dissertation behandelt die Geschichte der Disziplin der Theaterwissenschaft in Frankreich und im geteilten Deutschland, von 1945 bis zum Beginn der 2000er Jahre. Sie untersucht die historischen und sozialen Bedingungen, die es ermöglichen, ihre Entstehung und Entwicklung zu verstehen. Die zentrale Hypothese ist, dass die Konstituierung dieser Disziplin durch die Verbindung des akademischen und theatralischen Bereichs und dem Zusammenwirken lokaler, nationaler und internationaler Logiken ermöglicht wurde. Im Gegensatz zu älteren Disziplinen beansprucht die Theaterwissenschaft in der Tat eine größere Offenheit gegenüber Logiken außerhalb der akademischen Welt, sowohl in Bezug auf Ausbildung als auch auf Karrierewege. Die Geschichte dieser Disziplin, die wohl an der gegenwärtigen Krise der "Disziplinarordnung" teil hat, muss daher in die breiteren Metamorphosen des Theaters und der Universität in dieser Periode - insbesondere in ihre jeweiligen Internationalisierungen und Politisierungen - eingeordnet werden. Der Ansatz dieser Dissertation basiert auf der historischen Soziologie, die darauf abzielt, die Methoden der Geschichte und der Soziologie zu kombinieren, um Ereignisse, die Institutionengeschichte und die Strukturanalyse gleichermaßen zu berücksichtigen. Ohne die Prinzipien des Vergleichs zwischen Frankreich und den beiden deutschen Staaten aufzugeben, verdankt die Methodologie auch viel der histoire croisée, die es erlaubt, die Skalen der Analyse zu multiplizieren, ohne a priori den nationalen Rahmen der Theaterwissenschaft vorwegzunehmen

Full textThe early Sixties mark the beginning of a significant evolution in the theatre of Tennessee Williams. The playwright mostly known for works such as A Steetcar named Desire or Cat on a hot tin roof takes a new direction, if not exactly spectacular then nonetheless surprising and challenging. This impulse stems from a wish to innovate and to take risks, artistically speaking, resulting in a somewhat negative impact on his career : Williams saw his popularity decline considerably and he lost the support of most drama critics. In these difficult circumstances where most of his plays were dismissed as incoherent, Williams' almost legendary determination only increased. In the plays written between 1962 and 1983, the playwright opens the stage to the founding figures of his literay landscape, the androgyne and the artist, and pursues the (con)quest of his ideals. These two figures share a common desire to regain harmony ; their aim is also to bring about a revival on several levels (artistic, sexual, social, racial and even religious) and, finally, to put an end to an inherent, yet intolerable, feeling of loneliness. In so doing, the androgyne and the artist work for the realization of Williams' premier ambition : the meeting and union with the other. The plays under consideration are : The Milk train doesn't stop here anymore, Slapstick tragedy, In the bar of a Tokyo hotel, Kingdom of Earth, Small crafts warnings, The Two-character play, The Red devil battery sign, Vieux Carré, A lovely sunday for Creve coeur, Clothes for a summer hotel and Something cloudy, something clear

Full textInsight into the correlation between Russian theatre and society during two turmoil periods in history. Approach based on both the institutional framework of the theatre and the inner workings of the stage. Two tendencies are rooted in mass ideology : prospect of a better world and fear of social collapse. Detailed analysis of the directors, plays of the time, the reactions and tastes of the audience. Both periods are intertwined : the events that unfold are as mirror images of each other. They were prolific for professionals and amateurs alike. Recurring themes emerge from this periods : at the peak of social unrest, theatre is searching for its identity, between classic and avant-garde, between popular theatre for the masses and for elite. Artists cooperated with power and were not just victims. Its strength of the Russian theatre lies in its ability to adapt to the changing world, and will secure its place in universal culture.

Full textEncore cinq minutes is known as one of the largest success of quebec's theater at the end of the sixties. The social and cultural context of the production and reception of the play is first established. Semiotic analysis shows many inconsistencies at every level of sense. It also reveals the weakness of anti-conventional and feminist discourses poorly linked and often contradicted by the character's behaviour. In spite of the weak and largely incoherent structures of the drama. Gertrude, as a character has reached the audience and taken place in the history of quebec's theater as the symbol of an alienated mother and a hera of individual liberation

Full textThis thesis makes a study of the revival of theatrical life in germany after world war ii and the collapse of the nazi regime from two points of view : the nature of the repertory (das drama) and the apparatus of the theater (das theater). The first part describes the material, political as well as moral conditions of this revival in the context of the foreign occupation and the cold war. Major debates during that period of history (denazification, the return of exiled, the reeducation of the german people) are evoked in relation to the atrical scene. The second part is dedicated to the repertory which took roots in the exile of antinazi playwrights. There are five outstanding wawes in a group of authors in which variety can be found in the form as well as in the substance : wolf, bruckner, brecht, weisenborn, zuckmayer. In reference to five famous plays, this study focuses closely on the path which leads from the origininal intentions of the authors to the writing of the play as well as well as to the degrees of acceptance of this work - which vary according to the production, the places of performance and the audience. It is founded upon documents which, to this day, have not been quoted (dissertations, letters, critical material about theater published in newspapers in berlin and other cities. A third part lay stress on the foreign drama repertory and the authors that thanks to the armies of occupation - have been brought to the knowledge of an audience who could fancy novelties after a period of 12 years of autarky. Cultural policies in each of the occupied zones influence the choice of the authors, especially in the case of "political"subjects. In berlin, the four-zones-city, wilder, sartre and simonow sparked off passionate debates in the press as well as in the public opinion. The fourth part emphasizes the production of drama in the german language. It is indeniable that exists a new generation of young authors but, except for borchert, their literary art is rather traditional. Innovations come from "outside". This is the case for brecht who opposes a new langage of the drama and of the stage to the champions of naturalism. This is also the case for the young swiss authors frisch and durrenmatt who gave birth to a form of writing which is innovative and tainted with skepticism. They also renew styles by blending them - imaginary parable and historic farce among others

Full textThis study of Edward Albee, David Mamet and Sam Shepard has enabled us to emphasize one of the most essential paradox in contemporary artistic and literary creation. Indeed, the three playwrights have built up a highly original language while precisely giving up the Romantic ideal of originality. Based on repetitions and on hackneyed elements, the plays develop their own structures around the notion of cliché. Although the cliché may appear as a sign of the failure and of the dysfunctioning nature of this typical American dramatic language, it can also work the other way round and become a device that produces meaning. Thus, the aesthetics of these plays is one that revolves around the concepts of banality and déjà-vu: a real poetics of the cliché
Johansson, Franz. "Le corps dans le théâtre de Paul Valéry." Paris 4, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009PA040059.
Full textAmong all the literary genres, theatre deals with the human body in a unique way: not only is the body figured in a play but it also becomes a substance, an instrument, a presence on the stage. A playwright will always, in some way or another, be confronted with the body in the meaning of its biological constitution, its shape and movement, its resources and limitations and, ultimately, its essence. Theatre is therefore one of the most interesting fields for studying Valéry’s approach to the human body : in no other part of his work does the writer embrace the body in such an immediate, complex, profound - and nonetheless problematic and ambiguous -way. Valéry is an immense artist of the body. The first part of this work explores how Valéry contemplates the experience of theatrical embodiment: do his dramatic works and projects need and call on the actor’s active matter ? Or do they, at least, tolerate it ? The second part analyses the different ways in which Valéry’s aesthetic principles incorporate the presence and movement of the body in dramatic writing: how are the expressive means of the actor seized and transformed by artistic conventions, processes or techniques ? The last part aims to specify the conceptions of the body that emerge from Valéry’s plays and drafts: what does this theatre, as a language of the body, tell us about the human body ?
Alami, Ouahhabi Mohammed. "La perception de la société dans les Esperpentos de Ramon del Valle-Inclan : le regard multiple." Paris 8, 1997. http://www.theses.fr/1997PA081239.
Full textWhen studying valle-inclan,we have mainly been interested with his perceptive ualities in the esperpentos luces de bohemia and martes de carnaval. The writer's imagination and memories pervade the whole work. Valle-inclan uses a multiple perception:first of all he resorts to totalizing erception,but he also shows a static perception apparently influenced by the style of spanish painting. Moreover we have noted a more dynamic perception : valle-inclan's camera-eye builds up his scenes like pictures from close- ups and inset images. Valle-inclan is fond of distorted misshapen characters or he sometimes makes them look like animals. He uses colours, shades and lights to enhance his distortion and ugliness. He may at times give a geometrical aspect to his characters,a device that makes them look motionless and this changes completely the rythm of the play. By this multiple look,valle-inclan makes us discover a defiled world in wish things lose some some aspects of their subjective individuality assuming new shapes and appearances in quik comings and goings that shock our sight. We have bee abletshow that the world of shapes and colours is not left exclusivel to painters but also to talented writers such as valle-inclan
Frabetti, Anna. ""Le magicien italien " : Pirandello et le théâtre français dans les années vingt et trente." Paris 4, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA040159.
Full textAt the beginning of the 1920s, France discovered the theatre of Luigi Pirandello. His translator, Benjamin Crémieux, had taken on the task of promoting his work. Crémieux's critical readings of Pirandello would contribute decisively toward its acceptance. Equally important was the stage direction of Georges Pitoëff : his premiere of Six personnages en quête d'auteur in 1923 would open a new era of Italian theatre in France. For the Italian author, it was a juncture which would mark a turning point in his thinking with respect to the practice of theatre. If he had heretofore refused to recognize the artistic value of stage direction, it was due to his own experience as an author and to the backwardness of Italian theatre in this domain. His encounter with the realm of French theatre, and especially with Pitoëff, would help Pirandello to reconcile himself with the theories of stage direction and, in turn, to become director from 1925 to 1928 at the helm of his own Teatro d'Arte. Pirandello's fame in France soon faded: from 1924 on, Italy and France entered a difficult period in their political relations, not without adverse consequences for cultural exchange. After 1925, Pirandello's success in France would be replaced by a certain weariness, resulting from accusations of intellectualism fomented by the critics and press of the time. His theatre continued to be performed, but it would only be in 1934, after receiving the Nobel Prize, that Pirandello's early triumph would be renewed. The success of the performance of Ce soir on improvise (in the adaptation of Pirandello, Crémieux and Pitoëff), in 1935, marked the final stage of the playwright's French career

Full textStudying the grotesque in the theatre of the young B. Brecht provides the opportunity to consider one aspect that the former studies has left aside privileging the comparison with the epic and didactic theatre. Since the eighteenth century, the grotesque category has been associated with theatre and was immediately rejected by the founders of the national theatre. It resurrects at the beginning of the twentieth century and becomes an expression of a revolt against a normative and rigid artistic system. Brecht is involved in this movement, but also imprints his own mark on it. He means the grotesque as a form of materialism inherited from Wedekind, with minor arts and popular culture. He uses the grotesque against the traditional drama and challenges its values. This debate with the tradition is not only done through the development of a teeming style that radically questions the text-based theatre. It is also the result of the major role played by the human body, associated with law comedy and theatricality as opposed to heroism, pathos and tragedy. The formal and conceptual multiplicity of the texts under study, most of them unpublished, shows that during these years an experimental drama was emerging

Whereas Sartre's plays bear witness with his assiduous practing on this art, a corpus of numerous conversations assert his aim to set up a theory of drama, that would satisfy him, when the importance and the sharpness of this specific language is outstanding in this drama genre. In order to examine all the component of the play, we will study the subject in the two differents parts. Out of the words said, paraverbal elements including scenary, gesture and drama's structure. Verbal elements including the relationship between language and life, and the between language and its function, the various level of language used by sartre. This essay permit us to appreciate both the quality and the virtue of the dramatic language of Jean-Paul Sartre

Full textAround 1968, the theatre, confronted with the requirements of contemporaneousness laid down by the protest movements and with the unprecedented development of the medias of mass culture, experiences an intense period of problematisation of its political power. Owing to its marginalization in the social space, the theatre becomes a heterotopia that is a kind of utopia actually achieved: it opposes its community tendency to the indistinct mass of consumers, a speech of truth to the lies of capitalistic and authoritarian societies, the display of a genuine experiment to spectacular simulacra. Pasolini’s and Fassbinder’s theatrical practices seem to be part of this heterotopical movement: both authors present the theatre as an art that withstands the games of power, of consumption and spectacle. Yet there seems to be a gap between these practices and the landmark works of the theatrical time. This thesis intends to consider the three types of unactuality that define them: thematic unactuality (their antagonistic relationships with the protest movements), aesthetic unactuality (the choice of the words whereas the bodies are preponderant on stage; the primacy given to the affective life rather than more evident political subjects), ontological unactuality (by reducing the effects of presence of the scenic bodies). Therefore, it tries to expound the repetition but also the redefinition of the important motifs of the theatrical heterotopical practice in the dramatic works and the performances of the two artists

Full textTwo weeks after the VE-Day, a group of survivors performed a show in the displaced persons camp of Belsen singing and playing the life they endured in the sadly famous concentration camp nearby and the life before it all happened just as the future they wanted up to now. This theatre was the first of dozens of Jewish theatre groups to perform shows all over Germany in DP camps where refugees from the non-enemy nations and victims of the Holocaust were waiting in the hope of a next emigration to Palestine or the United States. They lived in camps opened by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), behind gates or even barbed-wires of the “assembly centers”, controlled by military forces. Opened in 1945, the last assembly center closed down no less than eleven years later. While waiting on the “cursed soil” of Germany, the Jewish DPs, unable orunwilling to work for or even in Germany, dedicated their time to perform and represent themselves, not only on the theatre, but also in sport events, bals, ritual plays and every imaginable kind of performance. This research focuses on the Jewish DPs temporary settled in West Germany and the way they built up a new life by performing the past and the next future in Eretz Israel. This work interrogates the possible significances of the performances in Yiddish just after the Holocaust and the way survivors dealt with their past in the present of the new camp. After 1948, the rate of the DPs in Germany progressively decreased, the cultural, artistic and politic experiences disappeared at the same time, therefore, this work ends up in 1952 and focuses mainly on the years 1945-1949
Zaarour, Suzanne. "Le théâtre de Sarraute : polyphonie et énonciation." Thesis, Dijon, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014DIJOL032/document.
Full textThe corpus is formed of six plays of Nathalie Sarraute; it hides a duplication of enunciation types in the characters’ dialogue. This duplication is latent due to personal pronouns and verb tenses’ neutralization. The transition from an enunciation layer to another is not marked at all or not traditionally marked. Therefore, deciphering will be more complicated to any reader, listener or spectator. These works of art are also highly polyphonic in terms of enunciation as in semantics, as several voices are intertwined and as the characters resort to authorities of point of view. Thus, readers, listeners and spectators should identify enunciation sources and “other” authorities of point of view to distinguish them from the original voices and to know what their contribution to the plays is. Even some speeches are reported and, predominately repeated as direct speech. Therefore, enunciation layers and enunciators are multiplied. We can also notice other voices in plays, as the author’s through what is called “stage directions” and other parts of the texts, the practitioners’ and the director’s through the performance

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation thesis is double: in one hand to analyse the Czechs theatre of Sixties, in the second to examinate the imaginative representation of this artistic period in our days. Edgar Morin’s “Method” and Gilbert Durand analysis of myths are the principal elements of the theorical approach used. The first part called Prologue is dedicated to the historical legacy of Czech theatre (from XIX c. to the socialist realism of 1950’s.) The third part called Epilogue opens a reflexion on the heritage of the theatre of the 1960’s after 1968. The main part is study of renewal in Czech theatre in two parts. First of all, on main national theatre scenes (such as National Theatre in Prague, State Theatre in Brno) in work of such creators as Otomar Krejča, Miloš Hynšt, Evžen Sokolovský et Bořivoj Srba; secondary also in the universe of little theatre groups (Laterna Magika, Semafor, Cimrman, No-Theatre of Ivan Vyskočil, Black Theatre of Jiří Srnec)
Marti, Laurent. "Le théâtre de Gonzalo Torrente Ballester : des avant-gardes à Aristore." Thesis, Dijon, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010DIJOL012.
Full textGonzalo Torrente Ballester (1910-1999), one of the main figures of the Spanish literature of the 20th century, is best known for his narrative. However, theatre is his greatest passion – and also the very first one – since he devoted the first twenty years of his literary career to theatre. The theatrical activity of the Galician author during the 1930s and the 1940s, hectic and steady, gives us an outstanding account of the Spanish stage during the Second Republic: the coexistence of a commercial and bourgeois theatre appreciated by the public since the end of the 19th century, and a minor avant-garde theatre aspiring to reform the theatrical stage with extensive innovations in the form. The two first plays of Torrente Ballester are in the line of this latest approach but a historical event, the war of Spain, leads to a major thematic and aesthetic change. The playwright meets up with a group of intellectuals of the Spanish Phalanx, the Grupo de Escorial, where literature mingles with politics, a mixture which determines the plays – but also the essays and articles – of our author at the very beginning of the 1940s. The dream of an ideal society educated by theatre ends up in 1943 and Torrente turns away from the dogmatism characteristic of the 1937-1942 period. The Galician author recovers then a creative freedom which allows him to compose his best plays just when, in the absence of staging, he decides to give up dramatic writing to dedicate himself exclusively to narrative. The theatrical adventure of Torrente stops at the end of the 1940s but the literary, political and human experience collected during this stage turns out to be essential to his later brilliant career as a novelist
Gouttefangeas, Maud. "Au théâtre des pensées. Essais de Péguy, Valéry, Artaud et Michaux." Thesis, Paris 4, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012PA040045.
Full textThere is such a thing as a theatre of the mind, a space for creation and play, in which the process of thinking is revealed. Péguy, Valéry, Artaud and Michaud have all experienced this in their essays. Beyond the differences that distinguish their works, their thinking processes are remarkable as they seek to reveal themselves through a model that finds its origin at the intersection of three forms of theatre. The first is the actual theatre of the early 20th Century, in which many experiments occur in the art of mise en scène. The stages and artistic settings in which these four authors evolve are vessels for the transmission of new and modern forms of theatricality ; they present the authors with new possibilities as far as performance is concerned, possibilities from which their minds take inspiration. On this inner stage of the mind, a second form of theatre unfolds to which various paths – mystical, poetic (Baudelaire and Mallarmé) and philosophical (Freud and Bergson) – give access. A third type of theatre can then be found in the four authors’ works, through the various shapes and values of essayistic writing. The genre’s genealogy, from Montaigne to Nietzsche, reveals, at its very core, an interaction between dramatizations of the mind and the text. In other words, a theatrical poietic emerges, which the four authors employ. The dramatized thoughts, calling on devices and mechanisms reminiscent of those being invented on modern stages, are put into place and pushed into movement, given a voice. The texts seek to show this theatre of the mind in which actions, costumes, décor, lighting, chorus, etc., intertwine, forming meaningful compositions
Alliot, Julien. "La Fête paradoxale sur la scène britannique contemporaine." Thesis, Paris 4, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA040132.
Full textBritish theatre and festivities have always been closely linked. From the moment the first plays were performed during medieval festivals to present-day representations of parties in which people binge drink or use drugs, it might even be argued that the celebratory mood has never left the stage. This intimate connection between the dramatic and the festive is investigated here from an aesthetic point of view, through a corpus of contemporary plays representing celebrations. Be they birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases or reunions, the festive motif is a recurring one in the second half of the twentieth century, with plays like The Birthday Party (1958), and on into the twenty-first century, with Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem (2009) or Martin Crimp’s In the Republic of Happiness (2012). Considering the traumatic experience of the Second World War or the protean crises that have subsequently affected the world, we might expect parties to disappear from the stage altogether; yet, this is not the case. In fact, we find that when the festive phenomenon is turned into an object of representation, it allows dramatists to put forward a poetics of excess characterised by exuberance and transgression. Not only does this carnivalesque energy turn the world upside down, it also subverts traditional dramatic forms. Oscillating between lack and excess or lightheartedness and gravity, sometimes verging on scarcity, violence or even death, the paradoxical party becomes the epitome of an aesthetic and ethical exploration of the limits of the representable. It thus offers a fruitful paradigm to account for the renewal of dramatic forms on the contemporary stage
Faure-Gignoux, Sophie. "Le théâtre anthropophage de Miguel Romero Esteo ou le cycle grotescomachique infernal." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM3035.
Full textThe theatrical universe of Miguel Romero Esteo, undoubtedly one of the most influential spanish playwrights of the second half of the 20th century, opens up spaces that emerge as unknown worlds no one has ever explored. In his work, consisting of plays he himself calls « grotescomachies », he invents a new dramaturgy, festive, ritual and baroque, which draws on various literary, theatrical, pictorial and musical traditions. The abundant usage of intertextuality in this polymorphous and hybrid theater, post-modern ahead of his time – where the researcher can gather traces of a cultural anthropology – underlines what the Self owes to the Other in every aesthetic and ideological perception of the world. Our primary focus will deal with the treatment of language, as the creation of the dramatic speech ventures off the beaten path and outlines routes that are unusual. Romero Esteo engages in a true deconstruction of speech and thus creates an unprecedented imaginary space, where poetry and music hold a central place. The author creates a celebration of sense and senses, at once loud and lyrical, but also critical and grotesque, where every single element of the dramatic structure falls within a specific form of play which, far from just materializing a unique playground, redefines the boundaries of the theatrical space-time.« Free-range » theater, theater of freedom… this unrivalled language, which mingles animal and human, spiritual and physical, insanity and reason, earth and sky, builds a timeless universe that allows for better appreciation and constant mockery of the distinctive features of the human condition
Kremser-Dubois, Sabine. "Satire ou éloge – et de quoi ? Le théâtre de Carl Sternheim : 1910-1922, Écriture dramatique, pratique scénique, réception." Montpellier 3, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005MON30065.
Full textCarl Sternheim's drama (1878-1942) has long been considered as a satire of German bourgeoisie under Wilhelm II. In 1963, referring to the playwright himself, W. Emrich stated that this drama is “the very opposite of satire” and an incentive for everyone to bring out his/her own “nuance”. Since then, this major point has been much debated. This dissertation confronts those contradictory appreciations, through the analysis of seven plays written between 1910 and 1922 and studied together according to their themes, examining their genesis, their “schema actantiel” and the texts themselves. It also resorts to the analysis of staging practices presented in press reviews or to film adaptations. This dissertation concludes that these plays extol individualism – which has led to differing interpretations and to a frequent lack of understanding from the public; it nevertheless has a satirical dimension which is not directed at a social class in particular but at any stereotyped behaviour

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the issues pertaining to the theatrical use of audiovisual technologies by Italian theatre, in the course of its experimentation and research over the last forty years. Effectively, Italy occupies a noteworthy position in the European theatrical landscape. Cradle of modern theatre, it possesses a specific theatrical tradition, which upon its encounter with European staging practices (mise en scène) produced unparalleled reactions. During the 1960s, the blossoming of experimental practices lead to the elaboration of a new theatre culture in which visual and sound technologies had an important role. In order to understand these phenomena, we focused on the history of different artistic movements, on the conditions of production and diffusion and on the role of theatre criticism. In combining these aspects with a prolonged analysis of numerous, varied creations (theatre performances, television productions, videos), we attempted to understand the evolution of the motivations, conjunctures, and outcomes of the relation between theatre creators and the technologies. We thus organised the dissertation chronologically, in four periods (1965-1978; 1979-1989; 1990-1998; 1999-2005), which clearly denote the main developments of the technological devices used (analogue, electronic, digital) and of the attitudes adopted by artists. This reconstruction illustrated that the technologies engender an expansion of the field of theatre, the displacement of the stage, the multiplication and the destabilisation of theatre practices. The technologies were revealed not only as a remarkable esthetical phenomenon, but also as a key for understanding contemporary theatre
