L'ouvrage de Roy Mitchell, intitulé Creative Theatre, parvient à saisir et à retracer brillamment un moment historique et culturel unique de l'histoire canadienne. La somme de Mitchell, qui demeure à ce jour le seul grand ouvrage canadien consacré à la théorie théâtrale, réussit à intégrer une analyse culturelle extrêmement poussée à une pratique d'interprétation enracinée dans une théorie théâtrale résolument moderniste, ces deux champs opérant simultanément comme un vecteur de communion spirituelle et transformationnelle et comme une voie initiatique pour les praticiens et le grand public. Sachant cela, comment est-il possible que cet ouvrage n'ait jamais été réédité depuis sa publication initiale en 1929 ? En fait, Creative Theatre constitue un texte tout à fait inhabituel dans les annales de la littérature canadienne car la vision rebelle et rétive qui l'anime nous pousse à nous interroger sur ces deux champs - l'analyse culturelle et la pratique d'interprétation. Par ailleurs, le travail de catégorisation est particulièrement compliqué car il ne s'agit pas d'une ouvre littéraire ou dramatique conventionnelle ou formellement expérimentale. Le choix de publier de nouveau cet ouvrage reflète, d'une part, la volonté de lui redonner la place qui est la sienne dans le discours culturel canadien et, d'autre part, l'intérêt croissant pour des textes modernistes « perdus » qui offrent une vision alternative et remettent en cause les idées reçues et les canons de la littérature, de la culture et du théâtre canadiens. L'engagement résolu de Mitchell en faveur des théories et des techniques modernistes d'avant-garde, développées en Europe, souligne l'importance du mouvement du Little Theatre au Canada et les liens étroits qui l'unissent aux mouvements qui ont suivi. Par ailleurs, son attachement indéfectible à la théosophie, une doctrine ésotérique prônant des mesures politiques radicales, s'opposait frontalement à l'image et aux valeurs véhiculées par la société protestante conservatrice du début du XXe siècle au Canada. Ce livre est publié en anglais.-Roy Mitchell's Creative Theatre brilliantly captures a fascinating historical and cultural moment in Canadian history. Mitchell's treatise remains Canada's only full-length work of theatre theory that incorporates a concentrated cultural analysis and a performance practice rooted in modernist theatre theory, which simultaneously functions as a transformational spiritual communion and initiation for its practitioners and its audience. How then is it that it has remained out of print since its original publication in 1929? Creative Theatre is a decidedly unusual text in the annals of Canadian literature, challenging both fields with its recalcitrant presence. It is not a conventional or formally experimental dramatic or literary work, complicating the work of categorization. This re-publication reflects its rightful place in Canadian cultural discourse, as well as the growing interest in 'lost' modernist texts that offer a counter-narrative to received ideas and canons of Canadian literature, theatre, and culture. Mitchell's commitment to European avant-garde modernist theories and techniques highlights the importance of the Little Theatre movement in the country and its connection to the movements that followed. His equal devotion to theosophy, an occult movement with radical political leanings, arguably contests the image of the staid, protestant society of early-twentieth-century Canada. This book is published in English. | Creative Theatre By Roy Mitchell, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
