Qu'il exalte l'imagination du spectateur en lui permettant de rire des autorités en place ou qu'il provoque une remise en question de son attitude passive au sein de la société, le théâtre contestataire cherche à mobiliser et à bousculer l'ordre établi. Le lien soutenu entre l'auditoire et la scène entretient la force subversive de cette forme de théâtre. Quel rôle les dramaturges jouent-ils dans un régime autoritaire ? Quel sens donner au théâtre contestataire quand il se déploie dans un contexte démocratique ? De la France aux États-Unis en passant par le Brésil et l'Argentine, Mathilde Arrigoni interroge les logiques militantes, artistiques et professionnelles à l'œuvre dans cet art théâtral, devenu arme politique. À travers les manifestations en faveur du statut d'intermittent, elle questionne aussi la façon dont la lutte sociale s'enrichit de la pratique artistique. En croisant les outils classiques de la sociologie avec l'analyse d'œuvres, d'auteurs et de troupes contestataires, elle explore les liens, parfois complices, souvent tourmentés, entre le théâtre et le pouvoir.

This first general history of Greek theatre from Hellenistic times to the foundation of the Modern Greek state in 1830 marks a radical departure from traditional methods of historiography. We like to think of history unfolding continuously, in an evolutionary form, but the story of Greek theatre is rather different. After traditional theatre ended in the sixth and seventh centuries, no traditional drama was written or performed on stage throughout the Greek-speaking world for centuries due to the Orthodox Church's hostile attitude toward spectacles. With the reinvention of theatre in Renaissance Italy, however, Greek theatre was revived in Crete under Venetian rule in the late sixteenth century. The following centuries saw the restoration of Greek theatre at various locations, albeit characterized by numerous ruptures and discontinuities in terms of geography, stylistics, thematic approaches and ideologies. These diverse developments were only 'normalized' with the establishment of the Greek nation state.

Authenticity is one of the major values of our time. It is visible everywhere, from clothing to food to self-help books. While it is such a prevalent phenomenon, it is also very evasive. This study analyses the 'culture of authenticity' as it relates to theatre and establishes a theoretical framework for analysis. Daniel Schulz argues that authenticity is sought out and marked by the individual and springs from a culture that is perceived as inherently fake and lacking depth. The study examines three types of performances that exemplify this structure of feeling: intimate theatre seen in Forced Entertainment productions such as Quizoola! (1996, 2015), as well as one-on-one performances, such as Oentroerend Goed's Internal (2009); immersive theatres as illustrated by Punchdrunk's shows The Masque of the Red Death (2007) and The Drowned Man (2013) which provide a visceral, sensate understanding for audiences. It is specifically the value of the document that lends such performances their truth-value and consequently their authenticity. The study analyses how the success of these disparate categories of performance can be explained through a common concern with notions of truth and authenticity. It argues that this hunger for authentic, unmediated experience is characteristic of a structure of feeling that has superseded postmodernism and that actively seeks to resignify artistic and cultural practices of the everyday.--publisher.
