Synopsis
Avant-Garde: The Experimental Theater in France explores the evolution and significance of the avant-garde theater in France from its inception in the late 19th century to its flourishing in the mid-20th century. The book examines the works of pioneering dramatists like Alfred Jarry, who laid the foundation with Ubu Roi, and traces their influence through movements like Dadaism, Surrealism, and Expressionism. It highlights the resurgence of experimental theater with figures such as Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot) and Eugène Ionesco (The Bald Soprano), whose plays challenged conventional narrative forms and explored themes of absurdity, existentialism, and the human condition. The study emphasizes the avant-garde's break from realism and naturalism, embracing symbolic, ritualistic, and non-verbal expressions to redefine theatrical norms. It underscores the avant-garde's revolutionary spirit, focusing on artistic innovation rather than personal rebellion. By integrating theatrical traditions with modern philosophical concerns, the avant-garde dramatists addressed existential themes such as the absurdity of life, the fragility of communication, and the search for meaning in an increasingly chaotic world. The book provides insights into the works of major and lesser-known writers, serving as a comprehensive guide for readers interested in the transformative power of experimental theater. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1966.
