Claudine Amiard-Chevrel, Majakovsky and the dramatization of circus.
As many other vanguard writers and artists, Majakovsky considered circus as a source of renewal of the theater and tried to help its adjustment to new needs. Making use of the methods of the Russian circus, he composed two works adapted to it. The championship of the class struggle is a French boxing match. Majakovsky endowes the competitors with clown-like masks of capitalists /politicians finally vanquished by the Revolution. The comical contest is commented upon by The Referee in the style of a propaganda sketch. Moscow burns renovates the old circus pantomime. Artists execute acts attached to their usual specialty but endowed with political presentation and meaning, included in a scenario glorifying revolution. In both cases the personal contribution of Majakovsky consists in the politization of the circus show and in the poetization of the text by the quantity and the quality of the verbal material.
