Ariane Mnouchkine

By Judith Graves Miller

Over the last forty years, French director Ariane Mnouchkine and her theater collective, Le Th tre du Soleil, have devised a form of research and creation that is both engaged with contemporary history and committed to reinvigorating theater by focusing on the actor. Now revised and reissued, this volume combines:

● an overview of Mnouchkine's life, work and theatrical influences

● an exploration of her key ideas on theater and the creative process

● analysis of key productions, including her early and groundbreaking environmental political piece, 1789, and the later Asian-inspired play penned by H l ne Cixous, Drums on the Dam.

● practical exercises, including tips on mask work.

As a first step toward critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today's student.
