Learning objectives

By analysing specific issues of the History of theatre, we intend to introduce the student to the theoretical and methodological tools offered by the representative medium with a particular regard to the comparison between different theatrical traditions. At the end of the course students will be able to contextualise, comprehend and examine on their own all the coefficients proposed by a prose show.

Prerequisites and basic notions

None.

Program

Course contents
In the last twenty years of the nineteenth century, the idea of playwriting handed down by tradition went into crisis and new ways of writing play began to be investigated. In some of the most famous dramas by Strindberg, Ibsen and Chekhov, interpersonal relationships are elaborated in a negative way, i.e. showing the difficulties that continually get in the way of communication. The many anti-naturalist pronouncements of the historical avant-garde and the anomaly of Italian stage practice, still dominated by the system of roles in a period in which the figure of the director is overbearingly asserting itself in the rest of Europe, induce Italian authors such as Pirandello, Rosso of San Secondo, Cavacchioli, Bontempelli to seek an answer in a new vision of the actor.
