20th Century Avant Garde Theatre from Dada and Futurism to Arrabal

In this course Professor Londre will discuss elements of 20th century theatrical avant-gardes, including Surrealism and Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty. She will then focus on the internationally-celebrated Spanish-French playwright Fernando Arrabal, whose work subsumes elements from all of those. Probably the most produced living playwright in the world, Arrabal at 90 years old is still going strong. His six decades of work in continental European theatre include over 100 plays translated into many languages, as well as novels, nonfiction, poetry, and paintings. Prof. Londre will overview Arrabal’s life and work, including his concept of Panic Theatre (named for the Greek god Pan); his full-length plays; and his place on the world stage.
