| Abstract | |
This study aims to examine the way in which the French theater group Théâtre du Soleil relates to and is influenced by Oriental theatrical traditions. To this end we seek to understand how the group¿s relationship with many of these traditions has developed, establishing a panorama that encompasses all theatrical creations held by the director of the company, Ariane Mnouhckine, from before the foundation of Théâtre du Soleil to the play Et soudain des nuits d'éveil, presented in 1997. Afterwards, we establish an analysis of the subject matter of the research, the play Tambours sur la digue, in which we seek to identify, within its creative process, the mechanisms and the approaches of the company regarding their particular manners of managing and handling eastern theatrical references. At this point it is emphasized the importance of the relationship with those traditions through an explanation of the concept of "Imagined Relationship", whose detailing evidences the particularities of the company¿s treatment of this issue. At the end of the dissertation, we seek to further develop the peculiarities of the company that were discovered, proposing a dialogue with other intercultural approaches held by artists, theorists and theater critics (AU) | |
