Paul Claudel et les spectacles populaires
Creators: Raphaèle Fleury
| Contents/Chapters: Through an investigation of Claudel's contacts with popular entertainment and an analysis of the productions he imagined, this book shows that the playwright not only symbolically reinvested these forms, but also used them to enhance the effectiveness of his theater. The address to the audience and the spectacular bear witness to the Catholic playwright's confidence in the ability of the material to convey meaning. But the seduction they exert runs the risk of an idolatrous relationship with the spectacle, a risk that Claudel sets out to control. | Materials: 878 p. ; ill. in color ; 24 cm
