This book examines Commedia dell'Arte as a performative genre, and
one that should be analysed through the framework of dramaturgy and
dramaturgical practice. This volume examines the way Commedia has
been explored in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and
details its reinventors' dramaturgic approaches, both focusing in
on specific examples such as Jacques Lecoq, Dario Fo and Antonio
Fava, and also suggesting how modern discoveries may aid the study
of historical performance practice. It also discusses how audiences
read and receive masks; the relationship between the different
masked and unmasked roles; the range of performance activities that
come under the umbrella term 'improvisation'; the performative
construction of a role performed 'live' from a scenario; the role
of language and embodied locality in performance; and the
performative relationship between performative commedia and
literary tragicomedy. Its focus is dramaturgy, and so it may be
read both as a text describing various theatrical practices from
1946 onwards and as a way of creating one's own contemporary
Commedia practice. It is an important read for any student or
scholar of Commedia dell'Arte and theatre historians grappling with
the status of this unique and influential performance form.
