The course focusses on "The Birth of Tragedy" (by F. W. Nietzsche"), with special concern for its influence on changes in performing arts values and practices between 19th and 20th century.

The students can study the english versions of the texts mentioned above (Nietzsche, Aeschylus, Baldry, Warburg).

The study will focus on the identification of what nourishes the radical renewal of the mime art realised by Etienne Decroux at the beginning of the twentieth century. Besides exceptional performances, those characteristic theatre environments built a protected time-space dedicated to research, experimentation, exchange of expertise and established a network of relationships among exponents from the world of art, culture and the so called civilised society.

First semester

PROGRAM:

Jean Cayrol e Jean Genet, two authors compared. Starting from the definition of the sacred by Georges Bataille, this course analyses the different forms that this notion acquires in the theatrical works of the two authors, who have been both deeply changed by the experience of prison: Cayrol, who was deported in a concentration camp, is the father of the ‘Lazarian’ literature and theatre. Jean Genet, who was sentenced to jail for theft, has been the interpreter of the misfit and of the outsider, with a privileged attention paid to sexual transgressions.
