I quickly responded with a request to be considered as an attendee because while I had travelled to the park a couple of times, I had never been in the spring, and I had never been to the northern range. My initial justification for going was to experience, yet again, the beauty and diversity of ecosystems and wildlife unique to YNP. I wish I could truthfully write that I had the foresight to envision what would happen over the next year as a result of this trip, but that isn’t the case. I’m still not exactly sure how the ADP’s seminar evolved into a large JSU group returning in 2019 with the potential for subsequent groups to follow, and I have to fight myself not to overly romanticize my experiences. -
Fall 1992 215 Agamemnon and Theatre Du Soleil
Fall 1992 215 Agamemnon and Theatre du Soleil: an Eclectic Mixture. Théâtre of the Soleil. Paris, France. May, 1991. Théâtre du Soleil, under the guidance of Ariane Mnouchkine, has in its 28 years of existence gained international status as a leading edge experimental theatre company. This French troupe boldly explores a variety of styles, sources, aesthetics, and subject matter to create a rich vibrant, colorful, theatre experience. They freely mix styles and conventions together to achieve a brand of theatre that is uniquely their own. The company's 1991 production of Agamemnon by Aeschylus, directed by Mnouchkine, combines remnants of classical Greek settings; Kabuki movements, costumes, and makeup to make a strong contemporary feminist statement. By looking at 1) this specific production, 2) the company's creative process, 3) their origin and structure, 4) their production history, 5) the philosophy that anchors their style, a deeper Understanding of Théâtre du SoleiPs rich aesthetic can be reached. Agamemnon is presented as part of a trilogy entitled Les Atrides. Two other plays, Iphigenie a Aulis and Les Choéphores perform in repertory with Agamemnon. These three works represent the body of Théâtre du Soleil's 1990-91 season. The text was translated from the original Greek to French by Mnouchkine and Hélène Cixous, a noted French feminist and playwright. Agamemnon tells the story of a wife's vengeance on her husband, the king, as he returns victorious from Troy. Clytemnestra has not forgiven him for the sacrifice of their daughter, Iphegenia, or for bringing with him his lover Cassandra. Clytemnestra with her lover, Egisthus, plots to take over power. -
Ariane Mnouchkine
The Théâtre du Soleil Ariane Mnouchkine, born 3rd March 1939 at Boulogne-sur-Seine, is the director of theatre company, the Théâtre du Soleil, which she founded in 1964 with her fellows of the ATEP (The Theatre Association of the Students of Paris). In 1970, the Théâtre du Soleil created 1789 at the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, where Giorgio Strehler warmly welcomed the young company and gave them his support. The company then went on to choose its home at the Cartoucherie, a former bullet-making factory, in the Bois de Vincennes on the outskirts of Paris. The Cartoucherie enabled the troupe to expand on the notion of the theatre simply as architectural institution and allowed them to focus on the concept of the theatre being a place of haven rather than just complying with the traditional architectural notions of a theatre building, and all this at a time when urban change and development in France was transforming the place of man in the city and the place of theatre in the city. In the Cartoucherie, the Théâtre du Soleil found the necessary tool to create and present the type of popular yet high-quality theatre dreamed of by Antoine Vitez and Jean Vilar. The troupe invented new ways of working and privileged collectively devised work, its aim being to establish a new relationship with its audience and distinguishing itself from bourgeois theatre in order to create a high-quality theatre for the people. From the 1970s onwards, the troupe became one of France's major theatre companies, both because of the number of artists working in it (more than seventy people a year) and because of its glowing international reputation. -

This page intentionally left blank We are the first people who are leaving nothing for our children – and America is leading the charge.We are at war against our children. Ariane Mnouchkine New York, July 22, 2005 Frontispiece Ariane Mnouchkine and the Théâtre du Soleil at the Cartoucherie de Vincennes during the run of The Shakespeare Cycle, 1981 ARIANE MNOUCHKINE Routledge Performance Practitioners is a series of introductory guides to the key theater-makers of the last century. Each volume explains the background to and the work of one of the major influences on twentieth- and twenty-first-century performance. Ariane Mnouchkine, the most significant living French theater director, has devised over the last forty years a form of research and creation with her theater collective, Le Théâtre du Soleil, that is both engaged with contemporary history and committed to reinvigorating theater by foregrounding the centrality of the actor.This is the first book to combine: G an overview of Mnouchkine’s life, work and theatrical influences G an exploration of her key ideas on theater and the creative process G analysis of key productions, including her early and groundbreaking environmental political piece, 1789, and the later Asian-inspired play penned by Hélène Cixous, Drums on the Dam G practical exercises, including tips on mask work. As a first step toward critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further,primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today’s student. Judith G. Miller is Chair and Professor of French and Francophone Theatre in the Department of French at New York University. -
