This book is the first study of popular theatre in France from left
to right, exploring how theatre shapes political acts, ideals, and
communities in the modern world. As the French found innovative
ways of imagining culture and politics in the age of the masses,
popular theatre became central to the republican project of using
art to create citizens, using secular spaces for the experience of
civic communion. But while state projects often faltered in finding
playwrights, locations, and audiences, popular theatre flourished
on the political and geographical peripheries. Drawing on extensive
archival research, this book illuminates lost worlds of political
conviviality, from anarchist communes and clandestine agit-prop
drama to royalist street politics and right-wing mass spectacle. It
reveals new connections between French initiatives and their
European counterparts, and demonstrates the enduring strength of
radical communities in shaping political ideals and engagement.
