<p>The distrust of the theatre in the Italian manner has been followed by its revaluation; this coincides with a revival of the interest in image and distance to the detriment of the search for contact and intimacy with the audience. However, the return to the theatre in the Italian manner does not correspond with the disappearance of works about non-theatrical spaces. Image and theatre only prevail over contact and place. Priorities have changed. The experiences of Arianne Mnouchkine at the Cartoucherie, and those of André Engel and Nicky Rieti, who look for new spaces for each performance, reveal this trend. Other directors, such as Roger Planchan and Jean-Pierre Vincent, have addressed painters of the «new figuration» for their scenographies. Patrice Chéreau and Richard Peduzzi have prefered the «utopian architectures » recreating places that upset for their ambiguity although they seem familiar. For Peter Brook, on the contrary, architecture becomes scenography. Antaine Vitez and Yannis Kokkos reconstruct the «state of theatre» as it were a «state of mind». In the French scenography there is a confrontation between these two ways: the true and the false. The return to the use of the curtain is symptomatic of the return to the image of theatre created by the passing of time: a theatre of imagination and secrecy, a theatre of distance and nota theatre of proximity.</p>...
El teatre de Carme Montoriol i Puig

<p>Carme Montoriol Puig was born in Barcelona in 1893 and died there in 1966. A self-taught woman, she studied music and foreign languages. She acquired a thorough knowledge of French, Italian, German and English. From the latter language, she translated the complete sonnets of Shakespeare into Catalan, which she also handled perfectly, in their correlatively equivalent meter. She also translated plays by Shakespeare: Cymbeline and Twelfth Night of What You Will, both edited by Publicacions La Revista, and works by Pirandello, Barrie and Leona Stravis. In the field of narrative prose, she translated novels by Rudyard Kipling, Osear Wilde and Maurice Baring into Catalan, as well as No pasarán (story of the siege of Madrid) by Upton Sinclair. She wrote and published her own novels, Terese, o la vida amorosa d'una dona (Terese, or Laves of a Worman) and Diumenge de julio[ (Sunday in July). She was also prominent as a lecturer and devoted president of the Lyceum Club.</p>
<p>As a playwright she produced the following works: L'abisme (The Abyss) (1936), L'huracà (The Hurricane) (1935), Avarícia (Greed) (1936) and Tempesta esvaïda (Quelled Storm) (1956). The last of these was an operette with music by J Joaquim Serra. The first three belong to the realm of bourgeois drama. They are realistic works with one foot on the threshold of naturalism. One decognizes the influence of Ibsen, whose works she knew well. The theories of Freud also run through the works, especially L'huracà (The Hurricane). This work was received as scandalous by the society of her day, because it dealt with the theme of son in love with mother/woman. The critics vehemently disagreed, some in favor of her, some against her, but they all had to admit that this work, like the other two, possessed unquestionable literary merit.</p>
<p>In 1939 she went into exile, but soon returned homesick to Catalonia; notwithstanding, her pen, like that of many other writers of her time, remained inactive for the rest of her life.</p>...

<p>Theatre has often wondered if it is possible to reproduce history. Shakespeare, Schiller and Victor Hugo tried to achieve this purpose and, from another point of view, · on November the 7th 1920, six thousand actors commemorated the October Revolution. In Catalonia, the following plays represented recent landmarks of the review of history through theatre: Capmany and Romeu's Layret, Jordi Teixidor's Rebombori-2, Alfred Badia's Una croada, etc. Historical theatre is still able to exert the triple function that Shakespeare expected from it: its being productive, at the same time, from the economic, artistic and politic point of view. Lunatcharski, when explaining the reasons why he wrote his 86 Olivier Cromwell, asserted: «What interested me was —the question of the leader's psychology and, mainly, that of a revolutionary leader.» The third basic level of analysis of historical theatre is the one which causes most problems of, Iet us say, epistemological kind. Performing history on the stage means the possibility of making real the tunnel of time. The improvement of scenic technology also gives us the possibility of the deceit based on the illusion of the past: Belasco in The Girl of the Golden West spent three months in reproducing a «Californian» sunset. Historical cinema from Hollywood employed similar proceedings to the Romantics. Nontheless, theatre is not the reproduction of reality, but the creation of an unreal world useful to men's life. Brecht in Mother Courage does not deal with the Thirty Years War; he refers to one of the most serious problems which concerned his contemporaries. This does not mean at all that the playwright and bis collaborators neglect the historical strictness or the scientific knowledge of the past.</p>...
La vida dels objectes

<p>The human being maintains a specially intense relationship with everything concerning time and space. The natural surrounding as well as the inanimated universe which surround him are perfect mute interlocutors, cause and effect of a great part of his activity. The structural and functional complexity of the environment has in its theatrical reproduction almost the same importance as human behaviour.</p>
<p>Theatrical practice has traditionally created guild divisions between setting, atrezzo and tools, corresponding to more or less systematical groups of objects, according to their size and function, within a technical judgment which, during the performance, separates the objects introduced by the characters themselves from those placed on the stage by other means. It could be said that this mechanical tradition arisen from the practice is better, in some of its systematization aspects, than many present theories about objects.</p>
<p>This work, under six epigraphs —«The Surrounding: from the Social Context to the Scenic Context», «Scenic Function of Objets», «Recognition of the Dramatic Role of Objects», «The Private Object», «The Aleatory Sign» and «Scenic Obligations»—, examines dramatically the representation of the social surrounding, according to the different scenic functions of objects and proposes a scheme of the working of the dramatic role of objects, from the study of the influence of personal accessories on the dramatic action in five recent Catalan adaptations for the stage: Guimerà's Maria Rosa, staged by John Strasberg; Brossa's Cavall al fans, staged by Jordi Mesalles; Genet's El balcó, staged by Lluís Pasqual; Labiche's El més feliç dels tres and Wilde's La importància de ser Franc, both staged by Jaume Melendres.</p>...

<p>During the 40's the Catalan theatrical life was restrained, for —till 1946— the censorship did not allow any performance in catalan. In spite of this, secret activities, such as H those taking place in the studio of the painter Xavier Portabella, activities which have not been reported till today, were carried out. Xavier Portabella was acquainted with the theatrical circle of the pre-war period; his studio was roomy and many people used to gather there far conversation. The painter's friends could go to these meetings freely and many of them even had the key of his apartment. Since he belonged to that social circle, Portabella was persuaded to write a play, El caragol i la corbata, from which we publish a passage, preceded by an evocation from his friend Terri.</p>...
L’escenografia de Fabià Puigserver

<p>The Catalan scenographer and theatrical director Fabià Puigserver has created more than a hundred scenographic and wardrobe projects, mainly for shows produced in Catalonia but also for ones in Madrid and beyond the Spanish border. Internationally he is probably best-known for his contribution to Víctor García's staging of Yerma by García Lorca. Fabià Puigserver stands in the first rank among those who have dedicated themselves over the past twenty years to the revival of the Catalan theatre. From the last years of the Agrupació Dramàtica de Barcelona (ADB) to the peak years of the Escola d'Art Dramàtic Adrià Gual (EADAG) at the present Teatre Lliure in Barcelona which he co-founded, he has collaborated in bringing up to date many dramatic concepts that go beyond the limits of mere stage decoration. This article penetrates into his prolific work through analysis of his popularity and achievements and measures the conclusions of critics against the author's own opinions of the material studied. This double review of all of Fabià Puigserver's scenographic work also constitutes an absorbing general reflection on the technique and theory of space, wardrobe and stage materials and contributes to the study of a fundamental piece within the evolution of the contemporary Catalan stage.</p>...

Federico García Lorca: dramaturg o director?

<p>In his book Federico y su mundo, Francisco García Lorca contends that the stage in his brother's plays “ ... opens up not only towards the spectator but towards an afterlife surrounding the stage”. Relying on her clase study of La casa de Bernarda Alba, Isabel Cámara seeks to show that this hypothesis is accurate and easily proven. In this particular tragedy, Lorca exchanges the stage direction Enter/ Exit in such a way that “Exit” acquires a double meaning: the one that conventionally corresponds to it and also its opposite. Concerning Poncia, Bernarda and Adela “Exit” not only signifies to disappear from the public's sight, but it also announces the “Exit” from backstage to the public stage. The confusion of the stage directions is in direct relation to the tragic tension of the drama, so that the confusion raises two phenomena; the union of the two dramatic spaces, stage and backstage, and the intense presence of the playwright/”director” in the climactic moment of the tragedy. The true protagonist turns out to be the stage and the dramatic space off-stage ar “outside”. At the end of the tragedy, the true protagonist turns out to be the stage and the decor of the initial scene through two of the main characters. It should be recalled that when the curtain rises, the stage is empty and silent. After Adela commits suicide, an event which takes place backstage, Poncia commands to Bernarda, “Don't Enter!”, and the final word of the drama, uttered by Bernarda, is “Silence!”. This inevitably recalls the space and silence which initiate the play. </p>
<p>Cámara maintains that La casa de Bernarda Alba is unique among the plays of Lorca because the author has deliberately exchanged the signs of the stage directions, with the intention of offering the public a “mise en crise” of the conventional psychic and physical spaces on stage.</p>...
Dues visions del fet cinematogràfic: Juan Gil-Albert i Francisco Ayala

<p>In the year 1955 the writer Juan Gil-Albert published a brief text entitled Contra el cine in which, as a mature man and author, he approaches the subject of cinematography. Francisco Ayala had already written on the theme in a series of articles published in 1929. In Ayala's texts the confrontation of the young and the adult reveals divergent perspectives in relation to a common centre of interest.</p>
<p>Ayala and Gil-Albert share only the subject to be realt with and both of them, despite the fact that they were born in the same year (1906), differ as to the mood of the work published as well as in their points of view, approaches and conclusions. It is precisely in the approach to the same subject that the difference between the two writers is evident. While Ayala appears as a lover of cinema, an enthusiastic fan of the movie theatre show since his childhood, Gil-Albert rebels against the passive condition of the spectator.</p>...
