Valere Novarina
None
An Incomprehensible Mother Tongue
This volume contains two new American translations of works by Valère Novarina, one of the major voices in avant-garde theater of the past forty years. Novarina is celebrated for his unique theatrical writing, exploring language beyond the conventional limits of communication, while pairing buffoonery with incantatory mysticism in the traditions of François Rabelais and Antonin Artaud.
Poetic Images, Presence, and the Theater of Kenotic Rituals
This book explores the interrelation of contemporary French theatre and poetry. Using the pictorial turn in the various branches of art and science, its observable features, and the theoretical framework of the conceptual metaphor, this study seeks to gather together the divergent manners in which French poetry and theatre address this turn. Poetry in space and theatricality of poetry are studied alongside theatre, especially to the performative aspect of the originally theological concept of "kenosis". In doing so the author attempts to make use of the theological concept of kenosis, of central importance in Novarina’s oeuvre, for theatrical and dramatological purposes. Within poetic rituals, kenotic rituals are also examined in the book in a few theatrical practices – János Pilinszky and Robert Wilson, Jerzy Grotowski and Eugenio Barba – facilitating a better understanding of Novarina’s works. Accompanied by new English translations in the appendices, this is the first English language monograph related to the French essayist, dramaturg and director Valère Novarina’s theatre, and will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and literature studies.

Valère Novarina
Le théâtre aphoristique de Valère Novarina renverse l'univers symbolique. Point de départ, le verbe est antérieur aux générations, la langue se nourrit d'elle-même. Ses livres laissent tournoyer les mots d'enfance, toutes les espèces d'animaux, ritournelles, proverbes, paroles blasphématoires ou prophétiques. Ici, l'oeuvre est explorée dans ses dimensions poétique, théâtrale et picturale.
La voix de Valère Novarina
Lorsqu'on découvre l'oeuvre de Valère Novarina, immédiatement sa nécessité apparaît. Ce mélange de comique énorme et de pathétique. De gravité et de loufoquerie. D'exigence et d'évidence. Cette manière de transfigurer la vie dans ses aspects les plus humbles, les plus quotidiens, les plus ridicules, les plus honteux parfois. Le théâtre de Novarina, c'est d'abord une pure jouissance du langage, de l'invention du jeu, de la surabondance verbale. Contre le langage précuit et prédigéré de la communication et de l'information, cette oeuvre offre une ouverture et une respiration, elle restitue à la parole sa dimension sacrée.
