This book explores the interrelation of contemporary French theatre
and poetry. Using the pictorial turn in the various branches of art
and science, its observable features, and the theoretical framework
of the conceptual metaphor, this study seeks to gather together the
divergent manners in which French poetry and theatre address this
turn. Poetry in space and theatricality of poetry are studied
alongside theatre, especially to the performative aspect of the
originally theological concept of "kenosis". In doing so the author
attempts to make use of the theological concept of kenosis, of
central importance in Novarina's oeuvre, for theatrical and
dramatological purposes. Within poetic rituals, kenotic rituals are
also examined in the book in a few theatrical practices - Janos
Pilinszky and Robert Wilson, Jerzy Grotowski and Eugenio Barba -
facilitating a better understanding of Novarina's works.
Accompanied by new English translations in the appendices, this is
the first English language monograph related to the French
essayist, dramaturg and director Valere Novarina's theatre, and
will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and
literature studies.
