From Mise en Scène of Texte to Performance of ‘Textual Material’

Bradby, David

Pages: 33 –44

[In 1985, the actor and director Antoine Vitez wrote that ‘when they are over, we shall look back on these last 30 or 40 years as a golden age of theatre in France’ (1991: 123; my translation).1 By this he meant that theatre had finally liberated itself from being seen as dependent on literature,...

The Spirit of a Place: Place in Contemporary French Theatre

Corvin, Michel

Pages: 45 –55

[What will happen when the conventions of place and/or of the stage are exploded? With writing no longer structured or governed by strict spatial codes, the doors will be open to all attempts to create a fluid and changing style of writing that will spread in the mind and in the imagination, well...

The Landscaped Narratives of Phillipe Minyana and Noëlle Renaude

Hersant, Céline

Pages: 56 –67

[As soon as one touches on the subject of the hidden geographies of theatrical writing — I say ‘hidden’ because the map around this literary area is at first glance difficult to read — one also touches not only on dramaturgy, but also, and most of all, on the practicalities of writing and its...

The Politics of Dramaturgy in France

Finburgh, Clare

Pages: 68 –79

[What do ‘dramaturgy’ and ‘dramaturg’ mean in a contemporary French context? To explore these questions, I interviewed French theatre makers who practise dramaturgy today. Bruno Tackels has worked as dramaturg with two highly experimental French contemporary playwright-directors, Didier Georges...

An Unlikely Scene: French Theatre in the New Liberal Economy

Han, Jean-Pierre

Pages: 80 –89

[Theatre commentators and even practitioners are frequently asked to provide a survey of theatre today; to press pause on what seems to be developing or unfolding a little too quickly in the eyes of those who prefer to reflect on the matter. Legitimate though such requests may be, particularly...

The Construction and Production of Performance

Cantarella, Robert

Pages: 90 –98

[The term création (new production) has been used for some time now in various contexts, in situations which, most of the time, allude to the fact that to create a new production is the hallmark of originality, of a unique position, of risks taken by those participating in the theatrical...

Performing Presence, Affirming Difference: Deleuze and the Minor Theatres of Georges Lavaudant and Carmelo Bene

Cull, Laura

Pages: 99 –110

[In this chapter, I want to explore the relationship between one of contemporary France’s most prominent theatrical figures, Georges Lavaudant, and one of its most important recent philosophers, Gilles Deleuze. While Deleuze only came to the attention of British and North American scholars during...

Théâtre du Grabuge: Ethics, Politics and Community

Hamidi-Kim, Bérénice

Pages: 111 –121

[Since the term théâtre populaire entered the cultural lexicon towards the end of the nineteenth century, French theatre has been publicly charged to act as an agent of and for greater democracy. However, what democracy actually means in this context has been repeatedly questioned, with all...

Amateurism and the ‘DIY’ Aesthetic: Grand Magasin and Phillipe Quesne

Déchery, Chloé

Pages: 122 –133

[The work of Grand Magasin and Philippe Quesne, like that of other contemporary French artists such as Jérôme Bel, Xavier Le Roy, Yves-Noël Genod, Loïc Touzé and Joris Lacoste, is located in an artistic field that defies disciplinary definition. From roughly the start of the 1990s, each of these...
