Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on the preparation of a student-led production of L'Illusion comique, a French play of the 17th century, and concludes with a performance in French at the end of the semester. To react to the challenges we will face in staging L'Illusion comique, we will examine the diversity of performance theories and practices in the 17th century through the close readings of a given set of plays (Racine, Moliere, Rotrou, Tristan l'Hermitte), as well as the main trends in the contemporary staging of classical plays, through video versions of recent performances.
