Book Synopsis Strindberg and Modernist Theatre by : Frederick J. Marker
Download or read book Strindberg and Modernist Theatre written by Frederick J. Marker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the profound influence exerted by August Strindberg on the development of modernist theatre and drama, the myth persisted that his plays - particularly such later works as A Dream Play, To Damascus, and The Ghost Sonata - are somehow 'unperformable'. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as this book sets out to demonstrate by providing a detailed performance analysis of the major works created after the period of personal crisis which Strindberg called his Inferno. Ranging from the early productions of Max Reinhardt and Olof Molander to the reinterpretations of Robert Lepage, Robert Wilson and Ingmar Bergman in our own day, this study explores the crucial impact that this writer's allusive (and elusive) method of playwriting has had on the changing nature of the theatrical experience. Each chapter ends with a section devoted to innovative Strindberg performances on the contemporary stage.
Book Synopsis German Expressionist Theatre by : David F. Kuhns
Download or read book German Expressionist Theatre written by David F. Kuhns and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-08-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: German Expressionist Theatre: The Actor and the Stage considers the powerfully stylized, anti-realistic styles of acting on the German Expressionist stage from 1916 to 1921. It relates this striking departure from the dominant European acting tradition of realism to the specific cultural crises that enveloped the German nation during the course of its involvement in World War I. This book describes three distinct Expressionist acting styles, all of which in their own ways attempted to show how symbolic stage performance could be a powerful rhetorical resource for a culture struggling to come to terms with the crises of historical change. The examination of Expressionist script and actor memoirs allows for an unprecedented focus on description and analysis of acting itself.
Book Synopsis An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: Autobiographies, novels, poetry, letters, historical works, natural history and science, lingiustics, painting and the other arts, politics, psychopathology, biography, miscellaneous, dissertations by : Michael Robinson
Download or read book An International Annotated Bibliography of Strindberg Studies 1870-2005: Autobiographies, novels, poetry, letters, historical works, natural history and science, lingiustics, painting and the other arts, politics, psychopathology, biography, miscellaneous, dissertations written by Michael Robinson and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2008 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This copiously annotated bibliography documents and examines the whole range of commentary on Strindberg's works and activity in many fields besides the plays for which he is internationally best known. These include his prose fiction and poetry, his work as an historian and natural historian, and his relationship to the other arts, most notably his painting. It is concerned with both lasting works of literary and dramatic criticism, as well as reviews of his books and plays in the theatre, and some more ephemeral material, all of this in several languages. Organised generically and by subject and individual work, the bibliography enables the reader to trace the changing impact of Strindberg and his works in various countries and during different periods. It is thus very much a study in reception as well as a bibliographical record of published material. It traces the developing image of Strindberg and his writing both during his lifetime and in subsequent years, and with frequent cross reference offers a comprehensive overview of a literary and existential project that has rarely been matched for its multifaceted diversity. The bibliography is published in three parts. Volume 1, General Studies (978-0-947623-81-4) and Volume 2, The Plays (978-0-947623-82-1) are also now available. Michael Robinson is Emeritus Professor of Drama and Scandinavian Studies at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.

Download or read book Strindberg's The Ghost Sonata written by Egil Törnqvist and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally considered one of milestones in the development of modern drama, August Strindberg's chamber play The Ghost Sonata (1907) has variously been hailed as the first expressionist, surrealist and absurdist drama. In this monograph of the play as text and as performance —the first of its kind—Egil Trnqvist examines, in four chapters, the source text, various translations of it into English, the stage versions of Max Reinhardt, Olof Molander and Ingmar Bergman, and select radio and TV adaptations. In two framing chapters the background and impact of the play are illuminated. Focusing on Bergman's 1973 production, the book in addition contains a rehearsal diary and a transcription of this production. It is concluded with an annotated list of select productions.

Download or read book Out of Inferno (p) written by and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1897 August Strindberg, almost fifty years old, embarked on one of the great comebacks in the history of literature. For six years he had lived as an exile in Germany, Austria, and France. Though more than twenty years earlier he had earned a place in Scandinavian literature, the general view in Sweden was that he was finished, his career over. Then, with the publication of Inferno, the novel that described some of the most harrowing experiences of his exile years, he returned swiftly to the center of Swedish literary life. In Out of Inferno Harry G. Carlson analyzes the reasons for Strindberg’s collapse and subsequent reemergence as an influential modern writer. Strindberg’s early success was as a realist, or Naturalist, writer in the 1870s and 1880s. Astute and politically conscious, Strindberg emphasized social relevance in his art. At the same time, however, he instinctively trusted his highly inventive "visions." The tensions and contradictions between realist and dreamer ultimately helped precipitate the collapse of his career in the Inferno years. Carlson explores Strindberg’s struggle to redefine both his art and himself as an artist, and the influence on him of various intellectual trends in fin de siècle Berlin and Paris—occultism, alchemy, Orientalism, medievalism. After declaring himself finished with drama and fiction, Strindberg turned to an old love, painting, and sought out friends in avant-garde circles, among them Munch and Gauguin. His renewed interest in painting and in experiments in the powers of the visual imagination laid the groundwork for the radical experimentation of his later drama. In the extraordinary atmosphere of artistic ferment in Berlin and Paris, Strindberg’s always sensitive visual imagination became recharged with energy, and the writer was inspired to return to work. The results in plays like To Damascus, A Dream Play, The Dance of Death, Erik XIV, and The Ghost Sonata amounted to a vision of drama that helped change the course of the modern theatre.

Book Synopsis Strindberg on Drama and Theatre by : August Strindberg
Download or read book Strindberg on Drama and Theatre written by August Strindberg and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Zweedse August Strindberg (1849-1912) wordt gezien als een van de meest belangrijke toneelschrijvers van rond de eeuwwisseling. Zijn choquerende theaterstukken had veel weerklank bij het publiek in die tijd, en inspireert tot op de dag van vandaag toneelschrijvers en publiek. Strindberg was een onophoudelijke innovator van verschillende theatervormen, een bron van inspiratie voor onder meer Eugene O'Neill, Samuel Beckett en Ingmar Bergman en heeft een vruchtbare bodem gelegd voor het moderne toneel. Zijn voorwoord voor Miss Julie en zijn inleiding bij A Dream Play zijn alom bekend en vaak herdrukt. Wat minder bekend is, is dat Strindberg veel toneelstukken recenseerde en kritieken schreef over het theater in z'n algemeen, en zijn toneelstukken in het bijzonder. Dit boek bevat de meest belangrijke van zijn kritieken, chronologisch weergegeven en geannoteerd, waarvan vele voor het eerst in het Engels.

Book Synopsis Biopolitics, Materiality and Meaning in Modern European Drama by : Fraunhofer Hedwig Fraunhofer
Download or read book Biopolitics, Materiality and Meaning in Modern European Drama written by Fraunhofer Hedwig Fraunhofer and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arguing that existing modernisation theories have been unnecessarily one-sided, Hedwig Fraunhofer offers a rewriting of modernity that cuts across binary methodologies - nature and culture, mind and matter, epistemology and ontology, critique and affirmative writing, dramatic and postdramatic theatre. She specifically reworks the biopolitical exclusions that mark modern western epistemology, leading up to modernity's totalitarian crisis point.Fraunhofer reveals the performativity of theatre in its double sense - as theatrical production and as the intra-activity of a dynamic system of multiple relations between human and more-than-human actors, energies and affects. In modern theatre, public and private, human and more-than-human, materiality and meaning collapse in a common life.
