Theatricality, between Theories and Practices: a glance at Théâtre du Soleil's approach

Abstract: The present article approaches the contemporary problematics around the notion of theatricality; its various definitions, criticisms and approaches concerning performing arts in the West, according to theorists and artists since the beginning of the 20th century. Supported by a historical approach of theatricality, this article revisits its relation to the notions of performance and performativity, providing material to analyze the emergence of theatricality in the creation of Macbeth (2014) at the Théâtre du Soleil.

摘要：本文围绕戏剧性（theatricality）这一核心概念探讨当代相关学术议题，梳理了20世纪初以来西方理论家与艺术家针对西方表演艺术提出的有关戏剧性的各类定义、批判视角与研究路径。本文以戏剧性的历史演进脉络为研究支撑，重新审视其与表演（performance）及述行性（performativity）两大概念的内在关联，并为分析太阳剧团（Théâtre du Soleil）2014年版《麦克白》（Macbeth）创作中戏剧性的生成路径提供了研究素材。
