Il tragico quotidiano. La “revanche du mythe” nel teatro francese tra le due guerre

Abstract

From the 1920s to the end of the Second World War, in Europe but especially in France, scholars, playwrights and directors increasingly paid attention to classical theatre, to the Tragic. Cocteau, Giraudoux, Gide, Anouilh, Sartre, Camus together with Jouvet, Pitoeff, Baty, Dullin and Barsacq passed through the Greek myth as a privileged form to explain the contemporary world crossed by crisis and uncertainties.
