Course unit content

Contemporary Theatres and theatrical cultures, in Italy and in Europe

Full programme

We will afford the study of theatre dealing with many artistic practices, italian and foreinger; a special place shall be given to Mnouchkine's Théâtre du Soleil. The course will also provide concepts and terminology to speak of theatre and will teach how to 'read' a play and to recognise theatrical languages at stake in several mise-en- scènes.
