En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the influence of Wagner and Nietzsche, this volume examines their impact on theatrical innovation through figures like Appia and Craig, shaping the works of playwrights such as Ibsen and Maeterlinck. It highlights Jarry's role as a precursor to surrealism and traces symbolist elements in the plays of notable authors like Claudel and Lorca. The connection between Artaud's theatre of cruelty and Peter Brook is discussed, alongside the theatre of the absurd as seen in the works of Sartre and Beckett, culminating in a look at recent avant-garde movements in America and Britain.
