Composition for the Stage in the 20th Century and the Theories of Postdramatic Theatre
This class aims to investigate the change of paradigm which took place in music theatre after the Wagnerian experience. Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande and Schoenberg’s Erwartung are considered as significant examples of a transformation which shows parallels in the field of spoken theatre (Maeterlinck, Reinhardt and others). The works will be analyzed on both levels of the musical and dramatic structures. This process further developed in the second half of the century with scenic-musical actions which adopts the principles of “postdramatic theatre” as later labelled by Heinz-Thies Lehmann. Nono’s Intolleranza 1960 and Evangelisti’s Die Schachtel can be considered as representative works of this phase. In both, although in different ways, the music appear as component of an audiovisual experience in which all theatrical dimension are involved.
