Abstract
Since the late 1960s, in the context of experimental theatre, a process of epochal transformation of the scene begins. New Theatre not only provides a new idea of spectacle, proposing innovative acting techniques and experimental space design, but also triggers a movement of renewal in Italian theatre culture, marking an important moment for the study of the neo-avant-garde’s work. Grotowski, Living Theatre, Open Theatre, Bread and Puppet, Kantor’s Cricot 2, Robert Wilson, Odin Teatret, Peter Stein and the Théâtre du Soleil toured Italy and played an important role in the critical debate. In particular, the presence of Living Theatre, which resided in Italy at various times starting from 1961, was a source of great stimulus for the question of acting in modern theatre. The article presents documents on the Living Theatre published in important reviews like «Il Dramma», «Sipario», «Teatro», demonstrating the importance of the contribution by militant critics to the critical debate.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
