Gérard Abensour, Art and politics. Tour of the Meyerhold Theatre in Paris in 1930.
On basis of articles and critical reviews published at the time in French, German and Russian newspapers, the author endeavours to revive the atmosphere of the Meyerhold Theatre in Paris in 1930. After a stormy tour in Germany foreshadowed by its established reputation as iconoclast and revolutionary, this Theatre presents disconcerting versions of two classical works of the Russian repertory: The Revizor of Gogol's and The Forest of Ostrovskij 's. Whilst in Moscow starts for Meyerhold an era of friction with a bureaucracy that does not acknowledge him as corresponding to its image, he hopes to achieve a brilliant success in Paris with the vanguard public. Unfortunately and in spite of the interest of Gaston Baty, Louis Jouvet and Charles Dullin, his much too personal conception of a "popular" theatre will not arouse immediate response. It is only in the post-war period that the ideas of Meyerhold will penetrate in the theory and practice of the French theatre. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
