Ariane Mnouchkine and the Théâtre du Soleil
This is a full-length study of the renowned French theatre director Ariane Mnouchkine, and her company, the Théâtre du Soleil. Mnouchkine is recognized as one of the first women directors to achieve an international reputation and her productions, spanning from Shakespeare to contemporary drama, have been widely acclaimed as being in the forefront of twentieth-century theatre. Having worked with Mnouchkine's company in 1985, Adrian Kiernander was in a unique position to observe her directorial style and working methods. In this fascinating study, Kiernander analyses the elements which inform Mnouchkine's work as well as the input she has had on modern theatre. The book includes an interview with Mnouchkine, a chronology of her productions and theatre career, and is illustrated with photographs from productions.
Collaborative Theatre
Collaborative Theatre combines critical and historical essays by theatre scholars from around the world with the writings of and interviews with members of le Théâtre du Soleil, past and present.
Le Théâtre du Soleil
Le Théâtre du Soleil traces the company’s history from a group of young, barely trained actors, directors, and designers struggling to match their political commitment to a creative strategy, to their grappling with the concerns of migration, separation and exile in the early decades of the twenty-first century. Béatrice Picon-Vallin recounts how, in the 55 years since its founding, the Théâtre du Soleil has established itself as one of the foremost names in modern theatre. Ariane Mnouchkine and her collaborators have developed a unique and ever-evolving style that combines a piercing richness of shape, color, and texture with precision choreography, innovative musical accompaniment, and multi-layered, metaphorical dreamscapes. This rich, storied history is illustrated by a wealth of spectacular rehearsal and production photos from the company's own archive and interviews with dozens of past and present members, including Mnouchkine herself. Judith G. Miller’s timely translation of the first comprehensive history and analysis of a remarkable, award-winning company is a compelling read for both students and teachers of Drama and Theatre Studies.

Ariane Mnouchkine
Over the last forty years, French director Ariane Mnouchkine and her theater collective, Le Théâtre du Soleil, have devised a form of research and creation that is both engaged with contemporary history and committed to reinvigorating theater by focusing on the actor. Now revised and reissued, this volume combines: ● an overview of Mnouchkine’s life, work and theatrical influences ● an exploration of her key ideas on theater and the creative process ● analysis of key productions, including her early and groundbreaking environmental political piece, 1789, and the later Asian-inspired play penned by Hélène Cixous, Drums on the Dam. ● practical exercises, including tips on mask work. As a first step toward critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners offer unbeatable value for today’s student.
The Great European Stage Directors Volume 7
This volume offers a compelling account of Jean-Louis Barrault, Ariane Mnouchkine and Peter Stein, who not only won international recognition as directors whose repertoires ranged from classical Greek to Shakespeare to the avant-garde, but also succeeded as leaders of their own companies. The ensembles they nurtured and kept afloat despite setbacks represent the artistic vision of each: the Compagnie Madeleine Renaud–Jean-Louis Barrault, the Théâtre du Soleil and the Schaubühne. Selected landmark productions illuminate the achievements of these 3 directors and their companies.
(Re)telling Old Stories
This book anchors the study of live performance in discussions about how societies think themselves through representation. It hones in on two productions by Peter Brook and Ariane Mnouchkine in order to examine shared methodological concerns in the transfer of ancient mythological narratives to the contemporary stage.
Ariane Mnouchkine
En 1964, Ariane Mnouchkine, avec un groupe d'amis, fonde le Théâtre du Soleil, qui occupe depuis lors une place très particulière dans le paysage théâtral français et international. Elle transmet, à travers des stages ouverts à des participants de toutes nationalités, le savoir théâtral acquis par la troupe et sa démarche artistique. A l'occasion d'une rencontre avec des élèves de deux écoles de théâtre (I'ENSATT de Lyon et le CNSAD de Paris), elle revient par petites touches sur ce qui l'a conduite au théâtre, sur ce qui nourrit son travail de mise en scène, ses influences (théâtres du monde, théâtres traditionnels, actualité, grands auteurs). Elle s'arrête sur la démarche qui a abouti aux deux dernières créations collectives de la troupe. Béatrice Picon-Vallin présente son travail de metteur en scène avec le texte de théâtre, et son évolution, regroupe l'essentiel de cette conversation vivante et la complète par des extraits de notes de stage sur le jeu de l'acteur, l'improvisation et ses règles.
