'We have good reason to be wary of mise en scene, but that is all
the more reason to question this wariness ... it seems that images
from a performance come back to haunt us, as if to prolong and
transform our experience as spectators, as if to force us to
rethink the event, to return to our pleasure or our terror.' -
Patrice Pavis, from the foreword Contemporary Mise en Scene is
Patrice Pavis's masterful analysis of the role that staging has
played in the creation and practice of theatre throughout history.
This stunningly ambitious study considers: the staged reading, at
the frontiers of mise en scene; scenography, which sometimes
replaces staging; the reinterpretation of classical and
contemporary works; the development of intercultural theatre and
ritual; new technologies and their usage live on the stage; the
postmodern practice of deconstruction. But it also applies
sustained critical attention to the challenges of defining mise en
scene, of tracking its development, and of exploring its possible
futures. Joel Anderson's powerful new translation lucidly realises
Pavis's investigation of the changing possibilities for stagecraft
in the context of performance art, physical theatre and modern
theory.
