  The technical object on stage

  At once strange and familiar, bearer of a narrative and initiator of a relationship, the theatrical object has a status in its own right within the performance, and constantly encourages the actor to reassess the quality of his relationship with his immediate environment. This book proposes to turn our attention to a specific type of object: the “technical” object, i.e. the technological apparatus, now digital, as it is put into play on contemporary theatrical stages. More than an exhaustive panorama, L'Objet technique en scène attempts to formulate several questions about the possibilities opened up by these new kinds of objects, through a number of case studies (Marina Bollaín, Simon McBurney, Rabih Mroué, Heiner Goebbels, Dries Verhoeven, Robert Lepage, Agnès de Cayeux, Christiane Jatahy...) and interviews with artists whose production bears witness to an interest in this technical object.

  The Great Gate of Kiev resounds to the tumultuous bell rings that end Pictures an an Exhibition, one of the most magnificent and virtuosic of all piano pieces. However, to some of his contemporaries, Modest Mussorgsky was ‘insane’ and ‘a perfect idiot’. Born into a wealthy land-owning family, what drove this tormented man and why did he suffer psychological breakdowns and alcoholism? How did he achieve his command of the realist idiom in his stage works? Illustrated with some of Mussorgsky’s finest works, the biographical narrative includes excerpts from Songs and Dances of Death, Boris Godunov, A Night on the Bald Mountain and, of course, Pictures at an Exhibition.
