Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: Theater allows people to examine important problems with sufficient distance in order to judge fairly without feeling directly implicated. Michel Meyer offers a much needed history of theater, from its earliest Greek beginnings, through the Middle Ages, Enlightenment, to the absurd works of Beckett or Sartre, while remembering the context of other supporting arts. French description: Le theatre est, avec l’epopee, la plus ancienne forme de litterature en Occident. Son but est de creer de la distance avec des situations problematiques, liees au pouvoir, au divin, aux dilemmes moraux, afin de permettre au spectateur de faire le bon jugement sans se sentir directement implique. Michel Meyer envisage toutes les theories du theatre, a commencer par celle d’Aristote, qui se sont succede jusqu’a aujourd’hui et les confronte a l’histoire meme du theatre. Eschyle, Sophocle, Euripide, Aristophane, Marlowe, Machiavel, Shakespeare, Racine et le theatre classique francais, le theatre baroque espagnol, le romantisme, le realisme, d’Ibsen a Tchekhov et a Pirandello, comme le theatre de l’absurde, avec Ionesco, Beckett ou Sartre, tout est etudie, articule, et remis en perspective. La rationalite dans l’histoire du theatre est clairement mise en evidence, sans jamais negliger ce que le theatre doit ou apporte aux autres arts les plus proches, comme l’opera. Michel Meyer offre ici une synthese spectaculaire et une erudition sans precedent sur le phenomene “theatre” en un ouvrage court et percutant, plein d’idees nouvelles.
