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
Starting from historical reflections that have their roots in the progressive epicization of the drama outlined by Peter Szondi, the course aims to explore with examples aimed at male and female that heterogeneous complex of theatrical events born in the second half of the twentieth century and commonly brought together by definition of Teatro di Narrazione.
