Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avec cette étude sur Beaumarchais, Maurice Descotes achève le cycle qu'il a entrepris, en vue de considérer les grandes œuvres du théâtre classique, non pas dans la perspective traditionnelle des personnages, mais dans celle des rôles. C'est-à-dire, en faisant intervenir beaucoup moins le point de vue du lecteur, que celui de l'acteur qui anime physiquement le personnage, et celui du spectateur qui contemple et entend un héros appelé à donner directement l'illusion de la vie. Ainsi, est restituée la valeur réelle du spectacle. Une fois de plus, à propos de Beaumarchais, se dégage cette conclusion que le comédien est un véritable créateur : l'image donnée de Figaro par Préville, Coquelin, J. Piat semble présenter des personnages différents, comme s'il ne s'agissait plus du même héros ; Bazile n'aurait pas atteint aux dimensions du mythe, s'il n'avait pas été incarné par de Max ; sans l'interprétation de Cécile Sorel, le rôle de la Comtesse restait un rôle négligé, etc. Tant il est vrai que « les comédies ne sont faites que pour être jouées » (Molière).

Download or read book The Figaro Trilogy written by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2003-10-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barber of Seville * The Marriage of Figaro * The Guilty Mother Eighteenth-century France produced only one truly international theatre star, Beaumarchais, and only one name, Figaro, to put with Don Quixote or D'Artagnan in the ranks of popular myth. But who was Figaro? Not the impertinent valet of the operas of Mozart or Rossini, but both the spirit of resistance to oppression and a bourgeois individualist like his creator. The three plays in which he plots and schemes chronicle the slide of the ancien régime into revolution but also chart the growth of Beaumarchais' humanitarianism. They are also exuberant theatrical entertainments, masterpieces of skill, invention, and social satire which helped shape the direction of French theatre for a hundred years. This lively new translation catches all the zest and energy of the most famous valet in French literature.

Download or read book Acting Up written by Jeffrey M. Leichman and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acting concentrated both the aspirations and anxieties of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century France, where theater was a defining element of urban sociability. In Acting Up: Staging the Subject in Enlightenment France, Jeffrey M. Leichman argues for a new understanding of the relationship between performance and self. Innovative interpretations of La Chaussée, Rousseau, Diderot, Rétif, Beaumarchais, and others demonstrate how the figure of the actor threatened ancien régime moral hierarchies by decoupling affect from emotion. As acting came to be understood as an embodied practice of individual freedom, attempts to alternately perfect and repress it proliferated. Across religious diatribes and sentimental comedies, technical manuals and epistolary novels, Leichman traces the development of early modern acting theories that define the aesthetics, philosophy, and politics of the performed subject. Acting Up weaves together cultural studies, literary analysis, theater history, and performance studies to establish acting as a key conceptual model for the subject, for the Enlightenment, and for our own time.
