Learning objectives

By analyzing specific issues of the History of theatre, we intend to introduce the student to the theoretical and methodological tools offered by the representative medium, regarding the field of communication and to the comparison between different theatrical traditions. At the end of the course students will be able to contextualize, comprehend and examine on their own the meaning of each coefficient proposed by a prose show.

Prerequisites and basic notions

None.

Program

Chekhov's theater appears to be essentially made up of muted tones, veils, nebulosity: in his dramas the events are not represented, but left to shine through. The atmosphere that we perceive there is not at all a poetic aura external to the events, but constitutes the truest and deepest concept of the drama. The presence of this impalpable element, which envelops his characters like an aura in which they breathe, is made perceivable with lyrical rather than dramatic means, with intonations, turns of phrase and stylistic devices, which will be highlighted individually during the lessons. Starting from historical reflections that have their roots in the progressive epicization of drama outlined by Peter Szondi, the course aims to explore the female figures of Anton Chekhov's major theater with targeted examples.
Reference texts:
1. Notes from lessons and in-depth materials. Non-attending students will integrate the bibliography with the study of: Luigi Allegri, Prima lezione sul teatro, Rome-Bari, Laterza, 2012.
2. Analysis of two of Anton Chekhov's four major dramas: The Seagull; Uncle Vanya; The three sisters; The cherry orchard.
3. Analysis of two plays chosen from the following (one for each author): Ibsen, Specters; The wild duck; The Lady of the Sea; Hedda Gabler. Strindberg, The Father; Miss Julie; Dance of Death.
4. Analytical and complete study of the following essays: Franco Perrelli, Teatro scandinavo, Roma, Carocci, 2024; Roberto Alonge, Cechov, la sofferenza delle donne, Bari, Edizioni di pagina, 2024; Peter Szondi, Teoria del dramma moderno, Torino, Einaudi, 2000 (pp. 3-15).
5. Luigi Allegri (ed.), Leggere il teatro, Roma, Carocci, 2023 (pp. 13-33).
6. Detailed analysis of a drama chosen from among the following starting from the analysis proposed in the volume Luigi Allegri (ed.), Leggere il teatro, Roma, Carocci, 2023: Sophocles, Antigone; Machiavelli, The Mandrake; Shakespeare, Hamlet; Molière, Don Giovanni or The Stone Guest; Goethe, Faust; Hugo, Ernani; Pirandello, Six Characters in Search of an Author; Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot.
7. Study of the following manual: Roberto Alonge, Franco Perrelli, Storia del teatro ee dlelo spettacolo, terza edizione, Torino, Utet, 2019, (chapters 1-12, pp. 1-259, excluding all insights marked with a sideline ).

The critical commentary of the theatrical or cinematographic adaptations analysed during the lectures will be part of the examination. A specific bibliography will be provided for ERASMUS students.

2. Students not able to attend the lessons are invited to send an e-mail to the teacher.

Evaluation criteria

The questions proposed to the candidates will, on the one hand, test their knowledge of the History of theatre with exemplifications offered by one of the dramas of the list; on the other hand, they will test the ability to analyze theoretical concepts and performances following the models showed during the lessons.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade
