<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>...

<p>RoseLee Goldberg's book Performance; Live Art 1909 to the Present, published in 1979 indicated in its closing chapter that performance art was moving more and more into the realm of entertaintment, using forms such as cabaret, television sitcoms and rock n'roll as the basis for new work, away from the more esoteric and often paradoxical work of the seventies, with its insistence on ideas over product, and concept over commonly accepted professional execution. Indeed, as this extract from the update of Ms. Goldberg's book Performance (plublished in the fall of 1987) shows, her predictions for the eighties were remarkably accurate. The new generations have created a body of work that is obsessed with the popular media. Indeed, the old cry by artists to break clown the barriers between life and art has, in their work, meant the breakdown between art and the media, often referred to as one between High art and Low. Ms. Goldberg describes the theatrical and highly professional mood of eighties performance, concluding at the same time that performance, despite its popularisation by the media, despite art school curricula and dissertations, remains an open ended and unpredictable medium for artistic experimentation.</p>...

«Mary d’Ous», un punt d’inflexió

<p>This work is a compilation of the results of a seminar made by the Department of Theatrical Sciences of the lnstitut del Teatre of Barcelona about the “Analysis of shows recorded in video”; it takes part in the effort, more and more widespread all over the world, to bestow on the theatrical criticism, as it is called nowadays, its own and true statute of independent and theoretical reflection.</p>
<p>We have chosen Mary d'Ous, a show by Els Joglars, because it is the topmost point of a theatrical conception based on the absence of a plot and also the last one of this kind of shows. In fact, after Mary d'Ous, Els Joglars changed completely. Alias Serrallonga, their following show, belongs no more to the same universe.</p>
<p>We believe that Mary d'Ous is the most current show of Els Joglars because it is the one which makes most clear the present needs of the dramatic criticism and which gives us more reasons and more images to try to overcome them.</p>
<p>We reproduce here a fragment of the text written by Els Joglars to hand it out: “Mary d'Ous: Variations on two themes. Show begum in Pruït (Barcelona) in June 1972 and finished in Barcelona at the beginning of December of the same year. The formal purpose of this show can be summarized as follows: it constitutes an attempt to obtain a maximum of scenic efficiency, using a minimum of elements related both to the plot and to the scenography. The show is based on a series of improvisations and studies made by the actors on the generic theme of the musical arrangement transposed to the dramatic process (canon, fugue, counterpoint, variations on themes, etc.).”</p>...
«Accions» i La Fura dels Baus

<p>La Fura dels Baus has gone across the Iberian Peninsula performing Accions and it has reached Argentine. People has thought that the group was bom with this show but that is not true. We should know its history. La Fura dels Baus appears in 1979 and in 1982 is reorganized. Its first actions have taken place in the streets of Sitges in 1983. Nowadays La Fura is composed of ten members and they define themselves as a theatre-music cooperative. One of the writings signed by the group is entitled “Manifest canalla” and reads as follows: «every action is a practical exercice, an agressive performance against the audience's passivity». Accions is a show which has been constructed in an empiric way: its plasticity is a combination of both painting and sculpture. They have never started from an academic idea to resolve plastic questions. Pyrotechnics are an important element in the show. In Accions there is neither actors nor characters but people perfoming actions. You can only talk about it in full details after having seen the show several times.</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>...

<p>The playlet (lloa) is a minor genre, a sort of prologue to the main play. Its purpose is to prepare the audience and its aim is didactic. The lloa we publish here reached us in a mutilated state; it must have been about 800 lines long, which makes it quite a play considering the characteristics of the genre. Dialogue is a basic element and the actors address the audience after a musical overture. We know nothing about the work which followed. The lloa is a dispute around the central figure: Desire. The work was written in 1697 and is now in the Departamental Archive of Perpinyà.</p>...

<p>Since 1975 there have been several bills that tried to get a legal framework where the dramatic activity could be inserted. Finally, 26th. March 1982, the Partit Socialista Unificat de Catalunya (communist) presented to the Parliament a Bill which, 13th. May, was rejected by 62 votes against (Convergencia i Unió, Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya and Centristes de Catalunya-UCD) and 54 votes for (PSUC and socialists). Estudis Escenics publishes a dossier about this question made by Jordi Teixidor, well-known playwright who took part directly in the writing of the Bjll. Then we publish wholly the Bill's articulate and a summary of the parliamentary debate, where the spokesman of every political party tells the reasons for his voting for or against. Jordi Teixidor comments on every contribution on the debate and infers that the government of the Generalitat does not want any Law of Drama, but it prefers to rule by decree, and that is a characteristic of the right. A Law of Drama means to have fixed some middle or longterm aims, whereas till now the dramatic policy of the Conselleria has not even been defined and, in oder to control drama, it prefers to play the part of Maecenas.</p>...

<p>In 1936 this author was appointed Commissar of Entertainments of the Generalitat, and while he was carrying out his task, he became aware of the deficiencies suffered the show business, as regards both drama and cinema. He took part in a series of initiatives among which we find Piscator's visit to Catalonia and the outlined projects of this director to perf orm Terra baixa by Àngel Guimerà and Parsifal in Montserrat's mountain. In november 1936 he travelled to Russia in order to try to arrange the exhibition of Russian films in Catalonia, and also to study the possibility of interchanging entertainments. He payed a visit to the Lunatxarski Institute (befare Stanislavski Institute), the Bolshoi Theatre, the Vakhtanov Theatre, the Realistic Theatre, the Meierhold, and so on. He got to know about the Lunatxarski Institute's syllabus and the attention payed by this institution to the non-Russian ethnical tradition of · Russia. The Republic's defeat ruined his projects, which had just been started, and forced him to the exile.</p>...
